About Chicken aftritada

Chicken Afritada is a hearty Filipino stew made with chicken simmered in a savory tomato-based sauce. This flavorful dish includes wholesome vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers, which contribute essential vitamins and minerals. Common seasonings like garlic, onions, and bay leaves enhance its robust aroma and taste. While traditional recipes may include oil for sautéing and processed ingredients like canned tomato sauce, healthier variations can minimize added fats and prioritize fresh tomatoes for natural flavor. Chicken Afritada is a good source of protein from the chicken, paired with fiber and nutrients from its vegetable medley, making it a balanced option when consumed in moderation. However, it may be high in sodium depending on the seasoning used, so mindful preparation is key. Perfect alongside rice, this dish is a staple in Filipino home cooking and an excellent representation of the country's rich culinary traditions.
