Notes

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Chicken broth: source of proteins, minerals, amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants favorable to the proper functioning of the immune system

Chicken meat: lean white meats are carriers of selenium that supports the immune system and free of saturated fats that do not compromise the function of the liver and circulatory system

Cauliflower: rich in vitamins A and K that help the liver in purifying activities and powerful natural anti-inflammatory, able to prevent and alleviate inflammatory and heart diseases. Also suitable for nephropathics. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. A species that provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression. Vitamin E strengthens the immune system, has a preventive function against many cancers and protects the digestive mucous membranes.

Extra virgin olive oil: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids

Bacon: source of essential amino acids, mineral salts (potassium, selenium, sodium, calcium and iron), B vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids and choline, thus contributing to the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system, liver and brain.

Breadcrumbs: cereals stimulate the synthesis of serotonin which counteracts depression and promotes good mood

Cream: source of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) favorable to the health of the eyes, mucous membranes, bones, immune system and blood clotting.

Rice: due to its modest protein content, it is suitable for nephropathic and phenylketonuric patients; since it is an antiuric food, it is recommended in case of gout and hyperuricemia. It stimulates the synthesis of serotonin which counteracts depression and promotes good mood

Salt: essential for the balance of body fluids and for the transmission of nerve impulses, it is however to be consumed respecting the limit of 5 g per day according to the indications of the WHO so as not to promote arterial hypertension and consequent increase in the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases starting from myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke; to be limited as much as possible in the case of nephropathy.

Mustard: able to strengthen the immune system; also suitable for nephropathic patients
