About One half of a chicken

One half of a chicken typically consists of both white meat (breast) and dark meat (leg and thigh), offering a balanced mix of proteins and nutrients. Chicken is a staple in numerous cuisines worldwide, from American barbecue to Indian curries, showcasing its versatility in preparation and flavor. Rich in lean protein, it supports muscle growth and repair while being a low-carb option. White meat contains fewer calories and fat compared to dark meat. Chicken is also a source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium. However, nutritional value can depend on how it's cooked — roasted or grilled chicken is considered healthier than fried or breaded versions, which can add excess fat and calories. Removing the skin further lowers fat content. For a balanced meal, pair with wholesome sides like vegetables or whole grains.
