Cooked tomatoes and vegetables, plus bone broth provide a range of immune protective antioxidants and nutrients. When combined with the protein of the chicken, we have the necessary building blocks to keep us feeling well during the winter season.
This recipe is perfect for hiding vegetables from those who try to avoid them, by blitzing vegetables in a food processor and adding to the tomato sauce. Use any veggies leftover in your fridge — carrot, zucchini, onion and sweet potato all work well. You’ll be giving them a boost of nutrition and it tastes great!
