Health benefits
Lean chicken mince is an excellent source of complete protein, niacin, vitamin B6 and selenium, which are important for energy production and immune function.
Broccoli provides an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and fibre. It also contains sulforaphane, a naturally occurring plant compound that has been widely studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The fibre in broccoli supports digestive health and promotes fullness.
Eggs contribute high-quality protein along with choline, an essential nutrient that supports brain function and normal cell health.
Mozzarella and Parmesan add calcium and additional protein to support healthy bones and muscles.
Garlic, onion powder and Italian herbs enhance flavour while contributing beneficial plant compounds with antioxidant properties, allowing the dish to be flavourful without relying on excess salt or added sugars.
