About Chicken Breast
A common high-protein, low-fat meat reference.
Health Benefits of Chicken Breast
High protein, low fat
100g of chicken breast has 19.4g protein and only 5.0g fat, 133 kcal - one of the best protein-to-calorie ratios among common meats. A staple protein source for fitness and fat-loss, cost-effective and quick to cook.
Rich in niacin and vitamin B6
High in B vitamins, especially niacin (B3) and B6, which support energy metabolism and nervous-system function. Its lower saturated fat than red meat is friendlier to cardiovascular health.
Cooking for tenderness
Fine fibers and high moisture mean it turns dry if overcooked. Prefer poaching, low-temp sous-vide, or searing then resting with residual heat, targeting ~74°C center for safety and juicy, tender results.
