Healthy, because
The lean chicken meat is a very good source of protein, which makes the chicken ragout with rice a great dish especially for fitness fans. The essential oils from the celeriac, together with the bitter substances contained, can help an irritated stomach.

By changing the type of rice, you can easily incorporate more digestive fibre in this chicken ragout. We recommend natural rice for this.
