A lean, mean fighting machine. That’s exactly how you’ll feel after you try this cabbage rich, lean chicken infused dish. That’s dinner sorted. Only 98 problems to go. Chicken is a great source of protein – building block of skin, muscle, nails and hair. Kale is rich in Vitamins A, C, K and has more iron than the equivalent weight in steak. Bok-choy is packed with antioxidants and regarded as one of the world’s healthiest foods.
