About Chicken in red sauce
Chicken in Red Sauce is a flavorful dish commonly found in various cuisines, including Mediterranean, Latin American, and Southern European traditions. The dish features tender, simmered chicken enveloped in a vibrant, tangy tomato-based sauce often enhanced with garlic, onions, peppers, olive oil, and aromatic herbs like oregano or basil. Variations may include a touch of chili for heat or wine for depth of flavor. Rich in protein, chicken provides essential amino acids to support muscle health, while the tomato sauce delivers antioxidants like lycopene, which aids in reducing inflammation. Additional vegetables in the sauce can boost fiber content, supporting digestion. However, aspects to watch for include added salt, sugar, or oil, which can increase calorie and sodium levels. Opting for skinless chicken and moderate use of oil can make this dish more heart-healthy while maintaining its robust taste and appeal.
