Description

Boneless, skinless chicken is the most widely consumed poultry meat worldwide, prepared by carefully removing the bones and skin. This cut offers a tender texture and a delicate flavor, ideal for a wide variety of recipes, from stews and stir-fries to roasts and baked dishes.

Its origin comes from farm-raised chicken bred primarily for human consumption, known for its rapid growth and versatility in the kitchen. Boneless, skinless chicken allows for more even and faster cooking, in addition to being a healthier, low-fat option.

Properties: It is an excellent source of lean protein, essential for muscle development and tissue repair. It contains B-complex vitamins, such as niacin and B6, which contribute to energy metabolism. By removing the skin, the fat and calorie content is significantly reduced, making it a recommended choice for balanced and low-fat diets.

In different Latin American countries, this ingredient may go by various names, such as boneless chicken, skinless chicken, boneless chicken breast, or simply sliced chicken fillet. These terms make it easier to identify in recipes and when shopping, facilitating its use in both traditional and contemporary dishes.
