Breaded chicken breast is a versatile dish popular in many cuisines, including American, Italian, and Japanese. It features a boneless chicken breast coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs and seasonings, often dipped in flour and egg for a crispy, golden exterior when fried, baked, or air-fried. The coating may include herbs, spices, and parmesan cheese for added flavor. While breaded chicken provides a good source of protein and essential vitamins like B6 and niacin, the preparation method can influence its nutritional profile. Baked versions are lower in fat and calories, while frying can increase saturated fat content. Opting for whole-grain breadcrumbs or using an air fryer can make it a healthier choice. Served in dishes like chicken parmesan, schnitzel, or katsu, breaded chicken is a comforting, crowd-pleasing favorite enjoyed worldwide.
