About Pechuga de pollo frita

Pechuga De Pollo Frita, or fried chicken breast, is a popular dish in Latin American cuisine, particularly in countries like Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. It consists of boneless chicken breast seasoned with a mix of spices, salt, and sometimes citrus juice, then coated in flour, breadcrumbs, or batter before being deep-fried until golden and crispy. While its juicy and flavorful profile makes it a comfort food favorite, its nutritional content depends on preparation. Chicken breast is naturally high in protein and low in fat, beneficial for muscle growth and repair. However, frying adds significant calories and unhealthy saturated fats depending on the type of oil used. For a healthier twist, opt for oven baking or air frying to reduce oil content while retaining the dish's satisfying crunch. Pair with fresh vegetables or a green salad to balance the meal and add fiber.
