What it is

Chicken breast is the meat from the chest of a chicken. It is a lean, white meat that is a popular source of protein. It is commonly sold fresh, frozen, or pre-cooked.

Why it's used

Chicken breast is used in a wide variety of dishes due to its mild flavor and versatility. Manufacturers use it as a primary protein source in prepared meals, frozen dinners, deli products, and sauces. It can be grilled, baked, fried, or added to soups and salads.

Health notes

Chicken breast is a good source of lean protein, niacin, vitamin B6, and selenium. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers chicken a safe and wholesome food. International bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated poultry in general as part of broader food safety assessments. Consuming adequate protein is important for muscle maintenance and overall health.
