Introduction: Chicken breast, the two largest pieces of meat on a chicken, is located on the inside of the chest. It has a shape resembling a cap and is commonly referred to as the “breast meat.” Chicken breast has a tender texture, delicious flavor, and is nutritionally rich. It contains a higher protein content that is easily absorbed and utilized by the body, contributing to increased physical strength and overall well-being. The phospholipids present in chicken breast play an important role in human growth and development, making it an essential source of fat and phospholipids in the Chinese diet, particularly suitable for consumption during weight loss periods. Chicken breast is also abundant in nutrients such as vitamin B6, vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium, which are important for meeting daily nutritional needs. In terms of storage, it should be avoided to keep chicken breast for too long, preferably consumed within a day. If stored for an extended period, the meat can spoil and bacteria can grow, leading to food poisoning. When purchasing, it is important to note that healthy chicken breast should have a vibrant pink or light red color, avoiding gray or dark-colored ones.
