Notes

"Chicken breast is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for postpartum recovery, tissue repair, and maintaining muscle mass. Garlic is beneficial for postpartum recovery as it enhances immune support, has strong anti-inflammatory properties, and improves circulation. Additionally, white pepper helps improve digestion and enhance appetite."
