We designed this recipe for the unique needs of people on a low oxalate diet who need to avoid some of the more nutrient-dense veggies while maximising nutrient density as much as possible.
The chicken thigh is the centrepiece of this recipe, providing the majority of the energy, a solid dose of bioavailable protein, and B vitamins, choline, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc. Low oxalate Brussels sprouts add vitamins C and K1, while the other veggies add some crunch and texture.
