Servings: ~1 chicken breast with glaze (~180–200 g cooked)
This savory-glazed chicken dish blends the tart floral notes of hibiscus with the earthy aroma of rosemary and the warm depth of roasted garlic. Hibiscus is rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols that may help lower blood pressure and improve arterial health. Cannabis-infused olive oil adds caryophyllene (known for anti-inflammatory effects) and subtle relaxation, while rosemary contributes pinene, which supports respiratory health and cognitive clarity. This is a bold yet balanced entrée that targets the cardiovascular and circulatory systems.
