The Benefits Of Eating Chicken Breast

When it comes to meat, chicken breast gets an unfair reputation.

Far from being bland and boring, chicken breast can be flavourful and fulfilling - especially when they are as high quality as the chicken breasts we carry. In fact, the argument could even be made that chicken breast is the best meat for you!

Chicken Breast Fat Content

Did you know chicken breast actually contains up to three times more polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat than red meat? That's a very good thing!

Unsaturated fat is healthy fat. It helps with muscle movement and blood clotting, among other things.

In other words, chicken breast is packed with health benefits:

  • Good fats
  • High protein levels
  • Vitamins
  • Iron
  • Zinc

Tryptophan

Did you know chicken also contains tryptophan? Many may think this is only found in turkey, but the natural antidepressant is also found in chicken breast!

Chicken Breast Is Delicious & Easy To Cook

  • Spice
  • Marinate
