About Chicken asado

Chicken Asado is a savory, tomato-based dish originating from Filipino cuisine, showcasing the rich blend of Asian and Spanish culinary influences. This flavorful dish typically features tender chicken marinated in a mix of soy sauce, calamansi or lemon juice, garlic, and pepper. It is then simmered with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and optional ingredients like sugar or bay leaves for added depth. Chicken Asado is a protein-rich meal, providing essential amino acids for muscle repair and growth. The tomatoes add a dose of antioxidants like lycopene, supporting heart health. While relatively healthy, its sodium content can be high due to soy sauce, so moderation is advised for individuals watching their salt intake. Typically paired with steamed rice, Chicken Asado offers a hearty and satisfying dining experience, making it a beloved staple in Filipino households.
