Frango de Churrasco, a staple of Portuguese cuisine, is a flavorful grilled chicken dish. The chicken is traditionally marinated in a blend of olive oil, garlic, paprika, lemon juice, and spices, including piri-piri for a spicy kick, before being expertly grilled over an open flame. Rich in protein from the chicken, it supports muscle health and provides sustained energy. Olive oil in the marinade adds heart-healthy fats, while garlic and lemon contribute antioxidants and vitamins. However, some recipes may include higher sodium levels or additional fats depending on the preparation, so portion control is key. This dish is often paired with fresh salads or vegetables, balancing its rich, smoky flavors with complementary nutrients. Frango de Churrasco is a delicious option for those seeking a filling meal packed with bold flavor and a mix of health benefits.
