Frango Cozido, a traditional dish from Brazilian cuisine, features chicken cooked slowly in a flavorful blend of spices, vegetables, and broth. Typically, it includes ingredients such as chicken pieces, onions, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and a variety of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. Sometimes potatoes or carrots are added to enhance its heartiness. This comforting and nutritious dish is rich in protein from the chicken and offers vitamins and minerals sourced from the vegetables. It is relatively low in fat, especially if prepared with skinless chicken, and is commonly paired with rice or beans for a balanced meal. While it generally avoids excessive use of unhealthy fats or refined ingredients, sodium content can be high depending on seasoning and broth used. Frango Cozido provides a wholesome, satisfying option that highlights the vibrant flavors and healthy simplicity of Brazilian cooking.
