About Chicken pastel

Chicken Pastel is a creamy and savory dish originating from Filipino cuisine, often served during special occasions. It features tender chicken pieces simmered in a rich sauce made from evaporated milk or cream, combined with a mix of vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. Some recipes include sausage or ham for added flavor. Traditionally, it is encased in a flaky pastry crust or served over rice, making it both hearty and indulgent. While Chicken Pastel is high in protein from the chicken and nutrient-rich vegetables, its creamy sauce and optional pastry crust contribute significant fats and calories. Choosing low-fat milk alternatives and reducing added meat or pastry can make the dish healthier. It's a comforting, crowd-pleasing meal that balances wholesome ingredients with rich textures, making it a flavorful highlight of Filipino home cooking.
