About Pechuga
Pechuga, a term commonly referring to chicken breast in Spanish cuisine, is a lean cut of poultry prized for its versatility and nutritional benefits. This high-protein ingredient is low in fat when prepared skinless, making it a popular choice for health-conscious meals. Rich in essential nutrients like niacin (vitamin B3), selenium, and phosphorus, pechuga supports muscle repair, energy metabolism, and immune function. Frequently featured in Latin American dishes, it can be grilled, baked, or sautéed, often accompanied by vibrant spices and sides like rice and vegetables. While pechuga is a nutrient-rich option, preparation methods matter—deep frying or adding heavy sauces can increase its fat and calorie content. Opting for lighter cooking techniques helps maintain its healthful profile, making it a staple for balanced diets across various culinary traditions.
