This Persian Chicken Stew With Dried Plums is a nourishing, deeply flavorful dish with powerful benefits for your brain, mood, and overall health. While not traditionally made with barberries, adding them boosts the dish’s antioxidant power and nutritional value. Barberries are known for their ability to reduce chronic inflammation and combat cellular damage.
The tryptophan found in chicken is an essential amino acid that supports mood balance, reduces anxiety, and improves sleep quality. It plays a vital role in producing serotonin (your feel-good neurotransmitter) and melatonin (your natural sleep hormone), helping maintain mental and emotional well-being.
Dried plums bring natural sweetness, fiber, and a unique depth of flavor, while cinnamon and saffron add warmth and therapeutic properties. Cinnamon has been shown to support memory and learning, while saffron is widely praised for its positive effects on emotional health and cognitive clarity.
Bioflavonoids in this dish offer neuroprotective support by reducing oxidative stress and protecting neurons from degeneration. These ingredients work together to reduce neuroinflammation by improving gut health, which is closely tied to brain function and the prevention of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
This anti-inflammatory dish is just one of many Eat Burn Sleep recipes designed to support optimal mental well-being, gut health, and overall vitality.
Delicious, healing, and easy to make—perfect for your weekly routine. For more brain-boosting meals, try Kung Pao Chicken, Paleo Beef Chili Con Carne, and Asian Style Spare Ribs.
