About Chicken pastelitos
Chicken Pastelitos are savory pastries popular in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, often enjoyed as snacks or appetizers. These flaky turnovers are typically filled with shredded chicken, seasoned with aromatic spices like garlic, onion, and paprika, and sometimes include olives, peppers, or hard-boiled eggs for added flavor and texture. Encased in a golden, buttery dough, they are usually baked or fried to perfection. While their crisp exterior and rich filling make them a treat for the taste buds, Chicken Pastelitos can be high in calories and fats, especially when fried. However, lighter variations can be prepared using lean chicken breast and baking methods. They offer protein from the chicken and essential minerals like iron and zinc. Paired with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables, Chicken Pastelitos can fit into a balanced meal while allowing a taste of their authentic, comforting flavors.
