About Chicken mechado
Chicken Mechado is a flavorful Filipino stew known for its tomato-based sauce and tender, marinated chicken. Inspired by Spanish culinary traditions, this dish typically includes chicken, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and garlic, simmered in a savory blend of soy sauce, vinegar, and tomato sauce. Its hearty ingredients and comforting flavors make it a staple in Filipino households. Nutritionally, chicken provides lean protein, while the vegetables offer fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to soy sauce and other seasonings, so moderation is key. Using skinless chicken and incorporating more vegetables can enhance its health benefits. Chicken Mechado is a delicious, nourishing option, but mindful preparation can make it an even healthier choice for everyday meals.
