Chicken tenderloins are a lean cut originating from the inner portion of the chicken breast, prized for their tenderness and versatility. Commonly used in American and international cuisines, they serve as a base for various dishes, ranging from grilled entrées to breaded and fried snacks. Nutritionally, chicken tenderloins are high in protein, essential for muscle health and repair, and low in fat when prepared without added oils or breading. They are naturally rich in vitamins like B6 and niacin, as well as selenium, which supports immunity and metabolism. However, preparation methods significantly affect their health profile; frying or adding heavy sauces can increase calories and saturated fat. Opting for grilled or baked options makes chicken tenderloins a nutritious, protein-packed choice in a balanced diet.
