IN FORM And the German Nutrition Society (DGE) have given this recipe the "Recommended by IN FORM" logo. This logo offers consumers guidance on a balanced diet. Only healthy recipes that meet all the specified criteria are allowed to carry this logo. Further information on the project "Tested IN FORM recipes" can be found here..

The silicic acid contained in pumpkin strengthens skin, connective tissue and nails. In addition, the orange-colored vegetable contains plenty of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. The fat-soluble vitamin is important for healthy eyes. Chicken provides plenty of protein, dairy products provide a good portion of bone-strengthening calcium.

Leftover lasagna freezes well - so you always have a healthy meal on hand. Vegetarians either omit the chicken breast fillet altogether or replace it with a handful of coarsely chopped walnuts or hazelnuts - this adds some crunch as well as healthy fatty acids.
