Chestnut chicken
Chestnuts are not only rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, but can prevent and treat hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis and other diseases. They are a good tonic for anti-aging and prolonging life. Moreover, it is rich in vitamin C, which can maintain the normal function of teeth, bones, blood vessels and muscles. Regular consumption can nourish the stomach and strengthen the spleen, nourish the kidney and strengthen the muscles, and promote blood circulation to stop bleeding.
Chestnuts are suitable for pairing with chicken. Chestnuts have the effect of nourishing the stomach, strengthening the spleen, nourishing the kidney and strengthening the muscles. However, chicken has a high protein ratio and is easy to be absorbed and utilized by the human body. Therefore, the combination of the two further enhances the nutritional effect. Moreover, the sweetness of chestnuts complements the delicacy of chicken.
