Chicken Humba is a classic Filipino dish known for its rich, sweet-savory flavor profile. Originating from the Visayas and Mindanao regions, it is a braised dish traditionally prepared with chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and aromatics like garlic and bay leaves. Some variations include pineapple, banana blossoms, or black beans for added depth. While Chicken Humba is relatively high in protein due to the chicken, it can also be calorie-dense because of the sugar and sometimes fatty cuts of meat used in preparation. It contains essential nutrients like iron and potassium from the ingredients but may have a higher sodium content due to the soy sauce. When consumed in moderation or prepared with healthier substitutions such as reduced-sodium soy sauce and lean chicken cuts, Chicken Humba can be enjoyed as a flavorful part of a balanced diet while showcasing the rich culinary traditions of the Philippines.
