Chicken, breast, grilled with skin, meat only

Chicken breast is meat from the breast of a chicken. These figures describe the meat only, grilled with the skin on, but with the skin excluded from the analysed food. It mainly provides protein, with 30g per 100g, alongside 3.1g of fat, including 0.9g of saturated fat. It also provides vitamins and minerals, including niacin, phosphorus and selenium.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues and helps maintain muscle. Phosphorus contributes to the structure of bones and teeth. For people monitoring fat or salt intake, eating the skin or adding oil, salt or sauces can change the nutritional content compared with the meat described here.
