Frango à Milanesa is a popular dish in Brazilian cuisine, inspired by Italian culinary traditions. It consists of chicken breast fillets that are seasoned, coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then fried until golden and crispy. The dish is well-known for its flavorful, crunchy exterior and tender meat inside. Typically served with rice, beans, or salad, it offers a satisfying protein source. While Frango à Milanesa provides nutrients like lean protein from the chicken, its healthiness depends largely on the cooking method. Deep-frying increases its fat and calorie content, making moderation key for maintaining a balanced diet. Healthier adaptations include baking or air frying the chicken to reduce oil consumption. The breadcrumbs can also be swapped for whole-grain alternatives to enhance fiber content. Whether enjoyed in its traditional form or a lighter variation, Frango à Milanesa remains a beloved comfort meal rich in cultural flavor.
