About Pollo empanada
Pollo Empanada is a savory pastry rooted in Latin American and Spanish cuisine, prized for its bold flavors and comforting appeal. This handheld delicacy features a golden, flaky crust encasing a filling of seasoned chicken, often combined with onions, peppers, garlic, and herbs for a rich, aromatic profile. Nutrition-wise, it offers a good source of protein from the chicken, while the vegetables contribute vitamins and minerals. However, the dough, typically made with refined flour and butter or shortening, adds saturated fats and carbohydrates, which can make it calorie-dense. Baking rather than frying Pollo Empanadas can reduce fat content for a healthier option. Ideal for meals or snacks, it embodies the fusion of taste and tradition, but moderation is key for those watching calorie intake.
