Summary
This Chicken Balti contains a variety of beneficial ingredients such as chicken breast, tomatoes, onions, and garlic purée, which provide essential nutrients and antioxidants. However, the presence of rapeseed oil, a highly processed seed oil, detracts from its overall healthiness. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the inclusion of several whole food ingredients.
