Healthy, because
The chicken breast fillets, which are rich in protein and at the same time low in fat, are ideal for building muscle - protein is also important for many other functions in the body, for example for the formation of collagen and the building of defence cells. The meat also provides magnesium for strong nerves and healthy muscles.
Even smarter
If you are afraid of too much spice, you can also prepare chicken breast in curry sauce without chilli pepper. Vegetarians can also prepare this dish with tofu and replace the chicken stock with vegetable broth.
