Nutritional values

The lean chicken meat is not a burden, its B vitamins replenish our stores, the trace elements zinc and iron strengthen the immune system and fitness. The high niacin content is particularly noteworthy: just one portion covers over 100 percent of the daily requirement of this B vitamin, which is important for energy and blood circulation and for the skin.

You can also go for turkey breast, which has similar nutritional values to chicken fillet, but is usually offered at a lower price.
