Indian Style Chicken Curry (Chicken Korma)
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The low-fat chicken breast fillet is popular on all sides, because due to its high protein content, it satiates well and helps athletes to build muscle. But the special thing about Indian curried chicken is the spices: They stimulate the metabolism and partly have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Rice, for example basmati rice, goes particularly well with Indian curried chicken.
