We all know that rice happens to be a major contributor to this meal and with a dominant carbohydrate giver to the system. Aside from this, we have tomatoes with the presence of vitamin A and vitamin C in large amounts. Vitamin A is a source of antioxidants to the body whereas vitamins are an immune booster of the body.

It is a larger source of lycopene which helps in the fight against some of the known cancer in the human body like prostate cancer. It is known to bring about mental and physical health and stability to humans.

Not forgetting, the chicken included as a means of chops and easy passage of meal through the esophagus is an appetizer both in sight and consumption. It is a source of animal protein to mean. The function of a protein cannot be overemphasized given its body nutrients.

I will greatly recommend the consumption of Stewed rice to anyone. The health benefits are numerous and in all, we have to consume this meal in moderation.
