About Chicken rico

Chicken Rico is a flavorful dish rooted in Peruvian cuisine, featuring marinated rotisserie chicken as its centerpiece. The chicken is seasoned with a blend of spices like cumin, garlic, and paprika, giving it a distinctive taste and enticing aroma. Often served with sides such as rice, beans, salad, or fried plantains, it offers a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins. The rotisserie method keeps the chicken tender while allowing excess fat to drip away, making it a leaner option compared to fried alternatives. Rich in protein and essential nutrients, it supports muscle repair and overall health. However, watch portions of accompanying sides and sauces, which may be higher in calories or fat. Ideal for those seeking a flavorful yet nutritious meal, Chicken Rico delivers a satisfying taste of Peru while offering opportunities for mindful eating.
