Chicken galantina, also known aschicken relleno (Filipinorelyenong manok), is aFilipino dish consisting of asteamed or oven-roasted whole chicken stuffed withground pork (giniling),sausage,cheese, hard-boiled eggs, and various vegetables and spices. It originates from the 19th-centurySpanish dishgalantina de pollo (also known aspollo relleno in modernLatin America), which in turn is derived from theFrenchgalantine dishes.[1][2][3] It is popularly served duringChristmas dinner (noche buena) in thePhilippines.[2] It is typically eaten with white rice or with bread.[3]
Chicken galantina is prepared by first deboning the chicken and seasoning or marinating it with salt, pepper,calamansi (or lemon) juice,patis (fish sauce), andsoy sauce. It is then filled with a mixture of ground pork (giniling), hard-boiled eggs, sausages (likechorizo de Bilbao,chorizo de Macao, orVienna sausage), and various other ingredients, including, but not limited to: ham, bacon, minced red bell peppers, minced carrots, crushedpineapples, onion,pickle relish, raisins,mushrooms, garlic,paprika, butter, freshly ground black pepper, cheese, flour or soaked white bread, and beaten eggs, among others. The chicken is then sewn up and wrapped incheesecloth oraluminum foil (depending on whether it is steamed or oven-roasted, respectively). If steamed, it is then refrigerated and flattened slightly before being sliced into rolls and served. If oven-roasted, it is just allowed to cool slightly for several minutes before slicing and serving.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
