Coconut Chicken with Peppers and Zucchini
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The chicken breast is not only very low in fat and rich in protein, but also impresses with an all-round supply of the minerals magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. For strong eyesight and beautiful, healthy skin, the red pepper has vitamin A to offer.
If you do not have a red chilli pepper at hand, you can also season with dried chilli flakes. The dish is perfect for freezing and to take away for the office.
