Chicken is an excellent source of protein. 4 oz of chicken contains about 30 g of lean protein (over half of our daily need of protein). Even the dark meat has little fat and calories if the skin is taken off and chicken is boiled or grilled, not fried.
Onions add abundant flavor, are high in Vitamin C and a good source of fiber.
Flaxseeds contain a high amount of Omega-3 fatty acids which is proven to help reduce inflammation (such as arthritis), protect against heart disease, cancer and diabetes. They are also a good source of fiber.
Sesame seeds are a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese and copper. They may also help lower cholesterol.
