About Grilled chicken empanada
Grilled Chicken Empanadas are a savory handheld pastry originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines. These flavorful turnovers feature a tender, flaky dough filled with a well-seasoned mixture of grilled chicken, onions, bell peppers, and spices, creating a perfect balance of protein and aromatic richness. Grilled chicken serves as a lean protein source, contributing fewer calories and fats compared to fried alternatives and offering essential nutrients like niacin and selenium. The baked or grilled preparation of these empanadas enhances their healthiness, avoiding excess oils commonly associated with frying. However, the pastry shell, often made with refined flour, provides carbohydrates but may be low in fiber. These empanadas deliver satisfying flavor while offering a more health-conscious approach to a beloved traditional dish, making them a great choice for those seeking comfort food with balanced nutrition.
