About Al pastor chicken

Al Pastor Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, inspired by the Lebanese shawarma tradition. It features marinated chicken cooked to perfection on a vertical spit, absorbing smoky and savory notes. The marinade typically includes achiote paste, dried chilies, garlic, and a blend of spices, balanced with pineapple for a subtle sweetness and tang. Served in tacos, salads, or bowls, Al Pastor Chicken is a versatile protein-packed option. Its lean chicken base makes it a healthy choice for those seeking high-quality protein while minimizing fat. However, sodium content can be significant due to the seasoning blend, so portion control is key. Pairing it with fresh vegetables and whole-grain tortillas can enhance its nutritional profile. Perfectly balancing bold flavors with wholesome ingredients, Al Pastor Chicken is a delicious way to explore the vibrant tastes of Mexican culinary traditions.
