How Many Calories In Chicken Breast?:
One of the most popular cuts of chicken is the chicken breast. It’s high in protein and low in calories and fat, making it an excellent choice for people trying to lose weight. In addition, including a variety of lean meats (lean meat is more than 90% fat-free) in your diet can help prevent heart disease.
One skinless, boneless, cooked chicken breast (170 grams) has the following nutrition breakdown 0 calories from fat, 280 calories from protein, and 53.1 grams of protein. Therefore, a 3.5-ounce serving of chicken breast provides 170 calories, 32 grams of protein, and 3.8 grams of fat — that means that approximately 80% of calories in chicken breast come from protein, and 20% come from fat.
To keep calories and fat levels down, trim all visible fat from the meat before eating it. It is also important not to fry it. Instead, grill or bake your chicken breast or eat it cold in a salad.
Chicken breast is a versatile meat that’s great on its own or in a variety of recipes. It can be used as the main ingredient in stir-fries, soups and stews, casseroles, and more. It is often the most popular part of the chicken used in poached chicken breast and chicken with brown rice.
Serve it with Air-Fried Veggies:
There are so many delicious things you can make with your air fryer. It’s a good idea to go above and beyond on some of those nutritious foods, too, like cooking zucchini, yellow squash, or onion in the machine! You’ll get more than just a fantastic dish when you try out these recipes for spaghetti squash (a miracle food) that has been cooked up right in yours genuinely -the trusty old-fashioned air fryer!
This recipe is so easy to make and can be prepared in an air fryer. I have also made this in the Ninja Foodi, Emeril Power 360, and Instant Pot Vortex Plus – it will work the same! For crispy chicken, you must spray your generously with cooking spray before breading, which helps panko crisp up perfectly.
You can use your hands to press the panko onto the chicken so it adheres. The other suggestion would be to cook with parchment paper or a reusable silicone liner for extra protection against bread slipping off!
