About Esfiha de frango

Esfiha de Frango is a savory Brazilian pastry inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly the popular "sfiha." This hand-held dish consists of a soft, doughy crust filled with seasoned shredded chicken, often mixed with onions, spices, and sometimes a touch of cream cheese for added richness. The dough is typically baked to golden perfection, creating a warm and satisfying treat. Esfiha de Frango is a source of protein from the chicken, while the spices and onions contribute flavor without excessive calories. However, the refined flour used in the dough may make it higher in carbohydrates, and variations containing cream cheese add to its fat content. A balanced serving can fit well into a meal or snack, especially when paired with a fresh salad for added fiber and nutrients. This Brazilian classic is celebrated for its comforting taste and adaptability for various nutritional preferences.
