Red Sauce with Chicken Thigh is a savory dish rooted in traditional Italian cuisine, featuring tender, slow-cooked chicken thighs nestled in a rich tomato-based sauce. The sauce typically includes crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and a blend of herbs like basil and oregano, creating a flavorful profile. Lean chicken thighs serve as an excellent source of protein, while the tomatoes provide a boost of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants like lycopene. Olive oil, a heart-healthy fat, adds creaminess without excess saturated fat. However, depending on preparation, the dish can vary in calorie content, especially if additional oils or cheeses are used. For a lighter version, trimming excess fat from the chicken or serving the sauce over whole grains instead of refined carbs like white pasta can make it a balanced and nutritious choice.
