Nutritional values

"A turn-on is a turn-on," is the popular saying. And slim on top of that, my scientist. Because chili and other spice makers from the spice supply strongly heat up the metabolism and thus also the calorie consumption. If you want to save fat, degrease the brew before serving.

A large bowl of salad "across the garden" spices up the spicy chicken dish not only in terms of taste but also with valuable vitamins, minerals and fibre.
