Chicken, light meat, raw

Chicken light meat is the pale meat of the bird, including the breast. The figures here describe raw meat, based on samples of fresh and frozen chicken. It mainly provides protein, with 24g per 100g, alongside 1.1g of fat, of which 0.3g is saturated fat. Its energy content is 449 kJ per 100g. It also provides niacin, phosphorus and potassium.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while phosphorus helps maintain bones and teeth. For people monitoring fat or salt intake, cooking with added fats, sauces or seasonings can change the amounts in the finished dish. Raw chicken should be handled carefully and cooked thoroughly before eating. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
