Chicken breast/steak, coated, baked

Coated chicken breast or chicken steak is chicken covered in breadcrumbs or batter and baked. These figures describe baked breaded and battered products rather than plain chicken breast. It mainly provides protein, fat and carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 18g of protein, 12g of fat and 16g of carbohydrate, with 1.2g of salt.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Chicken also provides B vitamins, which have roles in normal body functions, including energy metabolism. The coating contributes carbohydrate, while the ingredients and preparation affect the fat and salt content. For people watching their salt or fat intake, amounts can vary between products, so labels can help with comparisons. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
