Description

Cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast is a lean and versatile cut obtained from the upper part of the chicken, specifically the pectoral muscle. It is one of the healthiest and most popular options in cooking due to its low fat content and high protein value.

Originating from global poultry farming, chicken breast has become a staple ingredient in numerous cuisines for its mild flavor and ease of pairing with a wide variety of ingredients and cooking techniques.

Among its nutritional properties, it stands out as a rich source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and building. It also contains B vitamins, such as niacin and vitamin B6, and minerals like phosphorus and selenium. Its low fat content and absence of skin and bone make it ideal for low-calorie or controlled-fat diets.

In different Latin American countries, cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast may also be known as cooked chicken fillet, clean breast, or simply boned chicken. It is a fundamental ingredient in recipes like salads, stews, stuffings, soups, and healthy main dishes.
