Frango Empanado, or breaded chicken, is a popular dish in Brazilian cuisine and across many global traditions. It typically consists of chicken fillets coated in a mixture of flour, breadcrumbs, and eggs, then fried to golden perfection. The exterior is crispy, while the inside remains tender and juicy. Though delicious, its frying process usually contributes to higher fat and calorie content, making it less ideal for those seeking lighter fare. Depending on preparation, variations might include healthier baking methods or the use of whole-grain breadcrumbs for added fiber. Frango Empanado is a good source of protein from the chicken, supporting muscle growth and repair, but its nutritional profile depends heavily on accompanying sauces, sides, and cooking method. It balances indulgence and comfort food but should be enjoyed in moderation, particularly when fried in oil.
