Nutritional values

Cleverly combined: The chicken meat, the many herbs and the carrots provide the body with plenty of protein, a good portion of vitamins and, through the crust, also fibre. The beta-carotene from the carrots improves vision at night.

If children eat with you or you do not like alcohol in your food, you can instead roast a teaspoon of aniseed in a pan and sprinkle it over the carrots. They also provide the licorice-like spice.
