The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

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

Onion: it is rich in selenium which supports the immune system and with the ability to stabilize blood glucose at normal values; it provides quercetin, a flavonoid that helps contain cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, parameters related to cardiovascular risk, which also supports liver function by promoting the purification of the body. Also indicated for nephropathic patients, it is a good diuretic that prevents kidney stones. It provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Curry: able to strengthen the immune system

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

Sour cream or crème fraiche: rich in lactic ferments that regulate the intestinal flora and promote the functionality of the immune system. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of probiotics, vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants

Pepper (green, pink, black, gray, white): contains piperine, a powerful antioxidant; it improves insulin sensitivity by reducing cholesterol levels and activating metabolism. Recommended for people with cardiovascular problems.

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.
