Low Carb Boneless Chicken Recipe – Protein
One 3 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast contains 27 g of protein, containing all the amino acids essential for human health. Protein is an important building block of all muscle tissue in your body, including skeletal muscle, heart tissue, and the smooth muscle found in the walls of your intestines. Protein is also responsible for maintaining and building other structures in your body, such as cells and bones, and performing many crucial jobs, including breaking down toxins.
Low carb boneless chicken recipe – Fat
A chicken breast is relatively low in saturated fat compared to many protein alternatives, especially when the skin is removed. By replacing chicken with higher-fat cuts of meat, you can lower your risk of developing heart disease by lowering your LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol. Eating low-fat alternatives can also help you maintain a healthy weight. Grilling, broiling, and baking are great cooking methods for keeping the fat content lower.
Low carb boneless chicken recipe – Selenium
Chicken is a great source of selenium, a trace element that has been shown to fight cancer. Selenium is also thought to have a positive effect on the incidence of other degenerative diseases, including inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases and infections. Selenium is an antioxidant and has a positive effect on the activity of vitamins C and E in their ability to fight cancer-promoting free radicals. Chicken contains 24 micrograms of selenium per 3-ounce serving, or 44 percent of your daily selenium needs.
Low carb boneless chicken recipe – Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is found in chicken and aids in the metabolic process of proteins and carbohydrates. It aids in the production of insulin, red and white blood cells, neurotransmitters, enzymes, DNA, RNA, and prostaglandins. Without vitamin B6, the immune system, metabolism, and central nervous system do not function properly. The active form of vitamin B6, called pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), has the greatest effect on human metabolism. Each serving of chicken contains 40% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin B-6.
Low carb boneless chicken recipe – Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is found in abundant amounts in poultry and meat. Vitamin B3 is responsible for converting carbohydrates into energy and maintaining the health of the body's cells. Vitamin B3 has also been shown to lower cholesterol levels and is therefore believed to have a positive effect on reducing the risk of heart disease in people with high cholesterol levels. Chicken provides 84 percent of the daily niacin intake for women and 74 percent for men.
