Chicken breast halves

Chicken breast halves refer to each of the two parts into which a chicken breast is divided, which is the lean and meaty portion located on the front of the bird. This ingredient is highly valued in cooking for its versatility, mild flavor, and tender texture, making it ideal for a wide variety of recipes, from stews and roasts to sautés and salads.

Chicken is a food of domestic origin, widely consumed around the world. The breast is especially valued for being an important source of lean protein and low in fat, making it a healthy choice for balanced diets and for those looking to build muscle mass or control their weight.

Properties: chicken breast halves are rich in high-quality protein, B-complex vitamins (such as B6 and B12), and essential minerals like phosphorus, selenium, and zinc. Furthermore, their low-fat content makes them ideal for light and nutritious preparations.

In different regions of Latin America, chicken breast halves may have alternative names or synonyms, such as "half a chicken breast" or simply "boneless chicken breast". In some countries, they are also called "chicken breast fillet" when they are already deboned and cleaned for quick cooking.
