Peito de Frango, or chicken breast, is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, celebrated for its versatility and nutritional benefits. This lean cut of meat consists of skinless chicken breast, offering high-quality protein essential for muscle repair and overall body function. Low in fat, Peito de Frango is an excellent choice for those seeking a heart-healthy option or maintaining a balanced diet. Rich in vitamins such as niacin and B6, it also supports energy production and cognitive health. Typically grilled, baked, or pan-seared in Brazilian kitchens, it can be seasoned with a variety of spices, lime, garlic, or traditional marinades without significantly increasing calorie content. However, frying or adding heavy sauces may elevate the fat and sodium levels, reducing its health benefits. Perfect for salads, stews, or standalone dishes, Peito de Frango is a flavorful yet nutritious choice for everyday cooking.
