Boneless chicken breasts are a lean, tender cut of white meat from the breast muscles of the chicken. They provide a concentrated source of complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, along with selenium, phosphorus, niacin, vitamin B6, and other nutrients. Their mild flavor makes them especially versatile, taking on the flavors of herbs, spices, marinades, sauces, and cooking liquids from cuisines around the world. Chicken breasts cook quickly and can be roasted, grilled, sautéed, poached, baked, or added to soups and curries. Keeping individually portioned breasts in the freezer also makes it easy to prepare nourishing meals for one person or an entire family.
