About Chicken afritada

Chicken Afritada is a popular Filipino dish known for its rich tomato-based sauce and hearty ingredients. This dish typically features chicken, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and sometimes green peas, all simmered in a mixture of tomato sauce, garlic, onion, and flavorful seasonings. Originating from Spanish influences on Filipino cuisine, Afritada showcases vibrant flavors that reflect the Philippines' culinary heritage. Nutritionally, Chicken Afritada offers a good source of protein from the chicken and beneficial vitamins and minerals from its vegetable components. However, the dish may be high in sodium due to seasoning and canned tomato sauce, depending on preparation. Choosing low-sodium options and incorporating more vegetables can enhance its health benefits. Perfectly paired with rice, Chicken Afritada is a comforting, well-balanced meal that celebrates both tradition and nourishment.
