Filet de Frango, or chicken fillet, is a popular dish in Brazilian cuisine. Typically made from a lean chicken breast, it is seasoned with garlic, salt, black pepper, and occasionally paprika or herbs before being grilled, pan-fried, or baked. This preparation highlights both simplicity and flavor, making it a versatile protein option. Rich in high-quality protein, filet de frango supports muscle repair and growth while being naturally low in fat when prepared without oil or heavy sauces. However, its nutritional profile can vary significantly depending on cooking methods; fried versions may contain added fats and calories. Paired with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, filet de frango can be part of a balanced, health-conscious meal. Its origins are rooted in Brazil’s love for wholesome, straightforward dishes that emphasize fresh, quality ingredients and satisfying flavors.
