How to cook Chicken Salpicao

Chicken Salpicao Recipe is a dish of Spanish or Portuguese origin—though the Spanish “salpicar”, which means “to fleck with”. The Portuguese Salpicao involving sausage from different kinds of meat are much different from what we eat here in the Philippines.

This much-beloved delicacy is traditionally made by sautéing small cubes of beef sirloin with garlic and olive oil. Then soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce is often added for flavor.

In this version, we will be using chicken meat because chicken is a leaner substitute for beef which is still packed with protein. Choosing chicken will cut the risk of developing a stroke, and it has much fewer fats and calories. Above all, chicken meat means no more worrying about chewy beef because a well-cooked chicken is tender and melts in your mouth.

This Chicken Salpicao Recipe has some ingredient that is nutritious and healthy like, olive oil and garlic. Olive oil is one of the healthiest fats you can eat, it can help prevent cancer and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. The tasty sautéed garlic in Salpicao is a spice that lowers cholesterol levels and is rich in Vitamins C and B6, as well as manganese. Garlic also helps reduce symptoms if you have a cold!

Chicken Salpicao Recipe is so delicious and packed with flavor and can be cooked in no time at all.
