Crumbed chicken, also known as breaded chicken, is a popular dish enjoyed worldwide, often associated with Western cuisine. It typically consists of chicken pieces, such as breast or thigh, coated in flour, dipped in beaten egg, and covered with breadcrumbs before being baked, shallow-fried, or deep-fried. The result is a golden, crispy exterior that complements the tender, juicy chicken inside. This dish provides a good source of protein and essential nutrients like B vitamins and selenium from the chicken. However, its healthiness depends on the preparation method. Baking or air-frying can make it a lower-fat option, while deep-frying increases its calorie and fat content significantly. The type of breadcrumbs used can also impact nutrition, with whole-grain breadcrumbs offering more fiber than refined ones. Pairing crumbed chicken with fresh vegetables or a side salad can balance the dish and enhance its nutritional profile.
