What it is

Grilled chicken is chicken meat that has been cooked using a grill. It is typically made from chicken breast or thighs, seasoned, and then cooked over direct heat, often resulting in char marks and a smoky flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use grilled chicken as a protein source in a wide variety of prepared foods. It is commonly found in salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, and frozen meals, adding flavor and substance.

Health notes

Grilled chicken is a source of protein and other nutrients. The FDA considers it a basic foodstuff. When chicken is cooked at high temperatures, compounds like heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can form, which some studies suggest may be linked to health concerns at very high intakes. However, typical consumption levels in a balanced diet are not generally considered a significant risk.

Allergen info

Chicken is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
