Nutritional Info:

Chicken:

• Chicken breast is a lean source of protein, which is crucial for muscle development and repair.
• It is low in saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy option.

• Vitamin C is essential for a healthy immune system, skin health, and wound healing.

Teriyaki Sauce:

• Teriyaki sauce typically contains soy sauce, sugar, and various seasonings.
• It’s important to use a reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce to manage salt intake.
• While it adds flavor, it also contributes to the dish’s sodium and sugar content.

Honey:

• Honey adds natural sweetness to the dish and is a natural sweetener.
• It contains antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage.
• Honey is calorie-dense, so it should be used sparingly in recipes.
• While it has some potential health benefits, moderation is key due to its high sugar content.

Garlic and Ginger:

• Garlic is a low-calorie ingredient that adds flavor without adding many calories.
• Ginger has anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, known for soothing the stomach.
• It adds a pleasant, slightly spicy taste to the recipe.

Please note that the nutritional content of the dish can vary based on portion sizes and specific ingredients used, such as the brand of Teriyaki Sauce or honey. It’s essential to check labels for sodium and sugar content and make choices that align with your dietary preferences and needs.
