Healthy, because
If you want to follow the low-carb diet - i.e. few carbohydrates, a lot of protein in one meal - this is the right choice. In addition, one portion covers almost 200 percent of the daily niacin requirement! The B-vitamin is said to be able to help with headaches and migraines.

Hot tip for the summer: Season chicken filets, prepare salad, wrap everything up - and off you go to the barbecue!
