Description

Grilled chicken breast is a versatile and very common ingredient in world cuisine. It refers to the lean meat obtained from the front part of the chicken, which has been cooked directly on a grill or barbecue, giving it a smoky flavor and a juicy, tender texture.

Origin: Grilled chicken is a traditional preparation in many cultures, especially popular in Latin American countries, the United States, and the Mediterranean. The technique of grilling the breast over direct fire has ancient roots, traditionally linked to outdoor cooking and social celebrations.

Properties: Chicken breast is an excellent source of lean protein, low in saturated fat and carbohydrates, making it a healthy choice for balanced and low-calorie diets. It also provides B-complex vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. When cooked on the grill, the need to add extra fats or oils is reduced, maintaining its nutritional profile.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: roasted chicken breast, grilled chicken breast, grilled chicken, charcoal-grilled chicken.
