About Chicken
Chicken is a versatile and widely consumed protein that originates from domesticated poultry. Found in cuisines across the globe, it serves as a staple ingredient in Asian stir-fries, American barbecue, Mediterranean stews, and more. Nutritionally, chicken is a rich source of lean protein, essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall cellular function. It also provides important nutrients like selenium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, which support bone health, energy metabolism, and immune function. Skinless chicken breasts are particularly low in fat, making them a heart-healthy option, while darker cuts like thighs and drumsticks have higher fat content, adding richness but more calories. Frying or adding heavy sauces can diminish its health benefits, so healthier cooking methods like grilling, baking, or boiling are recommended. With its adaptability to various recipes, chicken remains a nutritious choice for balanced meals and diverse culinary experiences.
