Chicken Breast with Salsa is a spicy sirtfood lunch that lets you masterfully combine South American culture with European eating habits. Included are plenty of sirtfoods, such as kale, parsley, olive oil, red onion, buckwheat, capers, and the obligatory Bird Eye Chili, which provides a raging spiciness.
Be a little careful with the chili especially if you are not used to spicy food. The Bird Eye definitely has its revolutions and should be used with some caution for people who are sensitive to “hot”. If you don’t like or tolerate spicy at all leave it out altogether or reduce the amount.
However, the Bird Eye Chili is a real fat burner and is quite one of the most effective levers in the context of the sirtuine diet.
