Empada de Frango is a savory chicken pie originating from Brazil, celebrated for its flaky golden crust and richly seasoned filling. Typically made with shredded chicken, onions, garlic, tomatoes, olives, and herbs, the filling is enveloped within buttery pastry dough, creating a hearty and satisfying dish. While delicious, the pastry dough often contains refined flour and butter, making it high in fats and carbohydrates. The chicken filling, however, offers a good source of lean protein, essential for muscle repair and overall health. Ingredients like tomatoes, onions, and olives contribute vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Empada de Frango is a versatile dish, often enjoyed as a snack or meal, and pairs wonderfully with fresh salads for a balanced plate. While indulgent, moderation and thoughtful pairing with nutrient-dense sides can make this Brazilian classic fit into a well-rounded diet.
