Nutritional values

Chicken meat is easily digestible due to its high protein content. Its structure is similar to that of human protein and can therefore be absorbed particularly well by our body and used for new cells, tissue, and antibodies.

A carbohydrate side dish is important for the balance of the meal. If you want to serve basmati rice with it, try using the whole grain variety: it contains considerably more vitamins, minerals, and fiber than the white grains.
