About Palak chicken

Palak Chicken is a flavorful Indian dish that combines tender pieces of chicken with a creamy spinach-based curry. This vibrant recipe features nutrient-rich ingredients such as fresh spinach, tomatoes, onions, and garlic, seasoned with warming spices like turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. Spinach, the star ingredient, is packed with iron, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, making it a heart-healthy and immune-boosting choice. Lean chicken provides a high-quality source of protein and essential amino acids. While Palak Chicken is generally considered wholesome, it may contain added cream or ghee for richness, which contributes extra calories and fat. The dish is traditionally enjoyed with basmati rice or naan, offering a balanced yet hearty meal. Its roots lie in North Indian cuisine, celebrated for its vibrant flavors and nutritious combinations. Adjusting the recipe’s fat and sodium content can further enhance its health benefits.
