Chicken Ubad is a flavorful Filipino dish that highlights banana pith, locally known as "ubad," as a key ingredient. The dish combines tender chicken pieces with thinly sliced banana pith, coconut milk, garlic, onions, and often ginger, creating a rich and aromatic blend. Sometimes vegetables like carrots and peppers are added for extra nutrition and color. Originating from the Philippines, this dish is a unique representation of regional cooking that utilizes tropical plant-based ingredients. Nutritionally, Chicken Ubad provides a balance of protein from the chicken and fiber from the banana pith, which aids digestion. Coconut milk contributes beneficial fats, although it can be caloric if consumed in large amounts. The addition of aromatic spices enhances flavor without relying on processed seasonings. While its creamy base is indulgent, pairing the dish with steamed rice and fresh vegetables can make it a wholesome, satisfying meal.
