🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Skinless chicken breast provides high-quality protein that can support a feeling of fullness and forms the base of a balanced meal during breastfeeding. Colorful vegetables such as zucchini, peppers, broccoli and cherry tomatoes add variety in fiber, vitamins and minerals while keeping the calorie load light, and olive oil offers healthy fats. Baking with little oil gives a lighter result than frying, and this dish can be a practical way to round out balanced eating on busy days.
