Description

Chicken fillets are thin, flat cuts of chicken breast or thigh, boneless and skinless, ideal for preparing a wide variety of dishes in the kitchen. Their soft texture and neutral flavor make them a versatile and very popular ingredient for quick and nutritious recipes.

Chicken is one of the most consumed meats worldwide, and its domestication dates back thousands of years in Asia and the Middle East. Fillets are obtained by carefully slicing the breast or thigh into thin portions, which allows for uniform and faster cooking, perfect for stir-fries, grilling, breading, or stewing.

In terms of nutritional properties, chicken fillets are an excellent source of high-quality protein, low in saturated fat and calories, making them highly recommended for balanced diets and for those looking to build muscle mass. They also provide B-complex vitamins, such as niacin and B6, and minerals like phosphorus and selenium.

In the Hispanic American world, chicken fillets are also known as sliced chicken breast, breast fillets, chicken milanesa (when breaded), or simply sliced breast. Depending on the country, the term may vary, but their function in the kitchen is the same: to facilitate quick and healthy preparations.
