About Cuban style chicken

Cuban Style Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in the culinary traditions of Cuban cuisine, showcasing bold spices and fresh ingredients. Typically prepared with marinated chicken thighs or breasts, it features a vibrant blend of garlic, citrus juices like lime or orange, cumin, oregano, and paprika, often complemented by bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. This dish is usually simmered to perfection, allowing the rich flavors to meld beautifully. Packed with lean protein, Cuban Style Chicken supports muscle growth and overall satiety. The incorporation of citrus adds a dose of vitamin C, while the use of aromatic spices provides antioxidants. Though the dish itself is relatively healthy, it’s often paired with calorie-dense sides such as fried plantains or white rice. Opting for brown rice or a side salad can make the meal more balanced, supporting a nutritious approach while still savoring its vibrant, authentic flavors.
