About Chicken
Roasted chicken breast is a kitchen staple prized for its lean, mild-flavoured meat, equally at home sliced into salads, grilled whole, or shredded into wraps. Cooked and skinless, it delivers 165 kcal per 100 g with 31 g of protein, one of the higher protein counts among everyday meats, while fat sits at a comparatively modest 3.57 g, of which 1.01 g is saturated.
It carries 256 mg of potassium and 74 mg of sodium per 100 g, along with 85 mg of cholesterol, a figure worth keeping in context alongside overall dietary patterns rather than viewing in isolation. Small amounts of magnesium (29 mg) and iron (1.04 mg) round out the profile. Because it cooks quickly and absorbs marinades well, chicken breast is a flexible way to add protein to meals without a heavy fat load, provided it isn't fried or heavily sauced.
