Chicken Pastel is a traditional savory casserole dish originating in the Philippines. It typically includes marinated chicken, sausage (often Chorizo de Bilbao or hotdogs), various vegetables (like potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms), and a pastry or pastry-like topping. The chicken is usually marinated in a mix of soy sauce and lemon juice, giving it a rich, tangy flavor. The dish may also incorporate cheese to enhance the flavor and creaminess.
