About Broiled chicken

Broiled chicken is a lean, protein-rich dish known for its simplicity and versatility. Popular across various cuisines, especially in American and Mediterranean cooking, broiling involves cooking chicken at high heat, creating a flavorful, crispy exterior while retaining moisture. Typically prepared with minimal seasoning like salt, pepper, and herbs, it remains a low-calorie option that pairs well with vegetables or whole grains. A 3-ounce serving provides approximately 25 grams of high-quality protein and is low in fat, especially if skinless. It's an excellent source of essential nutrients such as niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, and selenium, crucial for energy production and immune support. However, healthier preparation involves avoiding heavy marinades high in sugar or sodium. Broiled chicken can easily fit into weight-loss, heart-healthy, or high-protein diets, making it a nutritious option with minimal drawbacks when cooked mindfully.
