What it is

Boneless, skinless chicken refers to chicken meat that has had the bones and skin removed. It is a common source of lean protein, typically from the breast or thigh of a chicken. The meat is processed to remove these parts, making it easier to prepare and consume.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use boneless, skinless chicken as a primary protein ingredient in a wide variety of dishes. It is frequently found in prepared meals, soups, salads, sandwiches, and frozen entrees. Its versatility and mild flavor make it a popular choice for consumers seeking convenient protein sources.

Health notes

Boneless, skinless chicken is a natural food product and is not subject to FDA additive regulations. It is a good source of protein and essential nutrients. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/IARC have evaluated unprocessed meats, classifying them in Group 2A, possibly carcinogenic to humans, though this classification primarily relates to processed meats and high consumption levels of red meat. At typical dietary intake levels, it is considered a healthy protein source.

Allergen info

Chicken is not one of the nine major allergens designated by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
