Coronation Chicken, Cucumber, Pickled Red Onion and Coriander

 

Flavorful and packed with health benefits this recipe of the month should be saved immediately. Chicken is a great source of complete protein which means it contains all the essential amino acids that your body needs to make a protein. Leucine is one essential amino acid which helps stimulate muscle growth. Chicken breast provides an optimal amount of leucine with 2.5g per 100g. Chicken is also a good source of haem iron which is the most easily absorbed type of iron. Iron is needed to help transport oxygen around your body as well as to maintain an optimal immune system function.

The non-haem iron found in Corn Thins slices and coriander will be better absorbed because of the presence of the haem iron. Also, the vitamin C in the pickled red onion also supports more iron absorption.

Red onions, cucumber and coriander as well as the herbs and spices included in the coronation chicken give your body different antioxidants which help to fight off excess free radicals which can cause damage and disease to the cells of your body. These vegetables and Corn Thins slices are a good source of fiber which is needed to support optimal gut health and function. The polyphenols found in these foods as well as the resistant starch are food for the good bacteria in your gut. When these good bacteria are healthy and thriving, they promote the health of your entire body. If you are needing a new recipe which ticks both the healthy and tasty boxes, then this is the recipe for you!
