What Are the Health Benefits of This Dish?

While we know that lean chicken breasts are great for adding protein, this dish also has salsa, pineapple, and zucchini inside. Salsa is made with tomatoes, which have Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and iron. Pineapple also has tons of Vitamin C and also Vitamin B-6. Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables and has a high source of antioxidants. This whole dish has health benefits to it!
