A delicious healthy meal from our Co-Founder and Nutrition Director, Louise Keats.
This is the prettiest and easiest slaw, perfect for Summer. Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable that’s a great choice for its cancer-fighting compounds. It’s also a source of prebiotic fibre, as are apples, thanks to their pectin content, so this is a great little gut-supporting meal.
You will virtually never find chicken breast in my fridge. The thigh is by far my favourite because it has twice the zinc and iron of the white cuts, and it’s much tastier. I like to keep the skin on for a little collagen boost. You can cook one or two chicken thigh cutlets per person, depending on appetite.
