Pastel de Frango Assado is a baked Brazilian pastry filled with seasoned shredded chicken. This savory dish is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or light meal. The flaky pastry is typically made from wheat flour, butter, and eggs, creating a tender, golden crust when baked. The flavorful filling combines chicken with ingredients like onions, garlic, parsley, and sometimes cream cheese or olives for added richness. Compared to its fried counterpart, the baked version is a healthier alternative, offering less fat and fewer calories. Its protein-rich chicken filling provides essential nutrients, while the herbs and spices add depth and antioxidant properties. However, due to the refined flour and potential use of butter in the dough, moderation is key for those mindful of calorie intake. Enjoy Pastel de Frango Assado as part of a balanced meal or with a side of fresh vegetables to enhance its nutritional profile.
