Chicken strips are elongated, thin portions of boneless, skinless chicken breast or meat, specially cut to facilitate quick cooking and versatility in recipes. They are a very popular ingredient in cooking due to their tender texture and ability to absorb flavors, making them ideal for stir-fries, fajitas, tacos, salads, and baked or pan-fried preparations.
Chicken is a poultry-based food widely consumed around the world, and strips have become especially popular in Latin American cuisine due to their ease of use and quick cooking time. They are a practical option for both home and professional dishes because of their adaptability to various marinades and seasonings.
In terms of properties, chicken strips are an excellent source of lean protein, low in saturated fat and carbohydrates, making them a healthy choice for balanced diets. They also provide B-complex vitamins, such as niacin and vitamin B6, which are beneficial for metabolism and muscle function.
In different Spanish-speaking countries, chicken strips may have some synonyms or variations in their name, although the most common and widely understood term is "tiras de pollo." Other terms that may be encountered include “pollo en tiras”, “pollo fileteado”, or simply “pollo en tiras”. In some regions, particularly in Central America, they may also be called “filetes de pollo” when the strips are a bit wider.
