About Empanada de pollo con queso

Empanada de Pollo con Queso is a savory hand-held pastry originating from Latin American cuisine, celebrated for its comforting flavors and versatility. This empanada is filled with shredded chicken seasoned with spices, combined with gooey melted cheese, all encased in a golden, flaky dough. The filling offers a satisfying balance of protein from the chicken and calcium from the cheese, making it a hearty option. While the pastry adds a rich, buttery texture, it also contributes to higher amounts of refined flour and fat, making moderation key for those mindful of their calorie intake. Often baked or fried, the cooking method greatly influences its nutritional profile, with baking being the lighter option. Pairing it with a fresh salad or vegetable side can add fiber and balance to the dish, transforming this indulgent treat into a more rounded meal.
