What it is

Skinless chicken breast is a cut of meat from the pectoralis muscle of a chicken, with the skin removed. It is a lean source of protein and is widely consumed globally.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add skinless chicken breast to packaged foods primarily as a protein source. It is used in a variety of prepared meals, salads, and deli products for its texture and mild flavor.

Health notes

As a whole food ingredient, skinless chicken breast is not subject to FDA additive approval processes; it is recognized as a common food. It is a lean protein source and is part of a balanced diet. JECFA and EFSA do not evaluate whole foods like chicken breast for ADIs.
