What is chicken breast?

Chicken breast is lean meat taken from the lower breast muscle of the chicken. Each whole chicken contains a breast and halves, which are usually separated during the slaughtering process and sold as individual breasts. Given its desirable white meat and health benefits, boneless chicken breast is the most expensive cut of chicken compared to chicken thighs, wings, and drumsticks.

This versatile cut can be grilled, broiled, broiled, fried, grilled and boiled in countless ways. Regardless of the cooking method, chicken should be handled with care and parts, utensils, and hands that have come into contact with raw chicken should be washed thoroughly with soap and hot water to prevent food safety risks.

Chicken Breast Nutritional Facts

Chicken breast is an especially healthy part of this already nutritious bird because it's low in fat and a good source of protein. Most chicken fat is concentrated in the skin, so chicken breasts are usually skinless and boneless.

According to the USDA, an average 4-ounce serving of raw boneless, skinless chicken breast contains approximately:

  • 110 calories
  • 26 grams of protein
  • 1g fat
  • 75 mg cholesterol
  • 85 mg sodium

By comparison, the same portion of skin-on chicken breast—just like a rotisserie chicken—contains 172 calories, 9.3 grams of total fat, and slightly lower protein levels. On average, a small chicken breast contains 55% of a person's recommended daily value for protein based on a 2,000-calorie diet. The exact nutritional value and calorie count of an individual chicken breast may fluctuate based on size and whether the bird is pasture-raised, free-range, cage-free, or cage-raised.

Nutritional and Flavor Differences Between White and Dark Meat

Each chicken has two types of meat—white meat and dark meat—that vary in color, flavor, and nutritional value. These differences are due to the type of muscle and the use of the muscle. Dark meat comes from the chicken legs, which work a lot and requires more oxygen, while white meat comes from the less-moving parts of the chicken, like the breasts and wings.

Dark meat and white meat chicken are equally good sources of protein and B vitamins, but they differ in calories, fat content and mineral content. While white meat has less fat and calories than dark meat, most chicken fat is found in the skin rather than in the meat, so the main source of fat and calories in dark meat chicken comes from the skin covering pieces like drumsticks and drumsticks. thigh. Due to increased oxygenation of these muscles, dark meat chicken tends to be juicier and is a better source of iron and zinc.
