There is a lot of valuable protein in this spicy chicken. In addition, the body gets a nutrient kick from iron, which is an important component of the blood pigment, and vitamin B6, which is involved in blood formation and helps in the undisturbed build-up and breakdown of protein building blocks.

Serve the chicken with brown rice. In addition to filling fibers, it provides vitamin B1, which is important for the undisturbed functioning of heart and kidneys.
