Chicken Rellena is a flavorful stuffed chicken dish originating from Filipino cuisine, often served during festive celebrations. This hearty recipe typically features a deboned chicken stuffed with a mixture of ground meat, sausage, boiled eggs, raisins, carrots, bell peppers, and cheese, seasoned with salt, pepper, and spices. Once filled, the chicken is stitched closed, baked, or simmered until tender, and served sliced to showcase its colorful filling. Chicken Rellena is rich in protein from both the chicken and its meaty stuffing, providing essential nutrients for muscle maintenance and energy. However, the addition of cheese and processed meats can contribute saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. The dish’s vegetables offer vitamins and dietary fiber, supporting digestion and overall health. While indulgent, balancing portions with fresh sides can make Chicken Rellena a more wholesome choice for celebratory meals.
