Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Due to its low-fat content and high protein content, the chicken breast is one of the most nutritious parts of a healthy diet. Since the skin contains most of the chicken's fat, chicken breasts are typically sold skinless and boneless.

Chicken breasts that are boneless and skinless are a great source of lean protein that are simple to digest and don't upset the stomach. You might feel more full between meals by including a lean protein, such as chicken breast. You'll feel even more full if you combine protein with a source of fiber, such as vegetables or whole grains. Use a low-fat cooking technique, such as baking, grilling, steaming, or sautéing, to prepare chicken breasts to maintain their leanness. Other lean protein options include turkey breast, shellfish, tofu, and eggs if you become sick of eating chicken.
