Nutritional values

Chicken breasts contain phosphorus, which contributes to the strength of teeth and bones. Lean meat is also a great food for muscles because it contains a lot of valuable proteins. Green beans are especially welcome on the plate of pregnant women. The folic acid found in the legumes supports the development of the fetus and protects against malformations.

If you want to enjoy a vegetarian version of risotto, you can replace the chicken for example with fried tofu cubes or mushrooms. Parmesan can be easily replaced with hard cheese with microbial rennet, for example, Montello cheese.
