Breaded chicken fillets are thin pieces of chicken breast that have been coated with a crispy layer of breadcrumbs before being cooked, usually fried or baked. This ingredient is very popular in various cuisines for its crunchy texture and mild flavor, making it ideal for preparing quick and nutritious dishes.
Chicken is an important source of lean protein and low in saturated fat, making it a healthy and versatile option for any diet. By breading it, an outer layer is added that provides a delicious flavor and a crunchy texture, making the chicken more appealing to all ages.
The concept of breading has its origins in European cuisine, especially in countries like Italy and Spain, but it has spread throughout the world and is common in Latin American gastronomy.
In different Latin American countries, breaded chicken fillets are also known as “milanesas de pollo” (Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay), “pollo apanado” (Colombia, Venezuela), or “pechuga empanizada” (Chile, Peru).
This ingredient is extremely adaptable and is used in recipes such as sandwiches, accompanied by sauces, salads, or side dishes, being a quick, tasty, and affordable option for preparing home-cooked meals or takeout.
