Baked chicken is a versatile and nutritious protein dish enjoyed globally, often associated with American and European cuisines. Made by seasoning chicken with spices, herbs, or marinades and cooking it in an oven, it retains natural flavors while minimizing excess oils. This preparation is rich in high-quality protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, and provides vital nutrients like B vitamins, selenium, and phosphorus. Compared to fried chicken, its reduced fat content makes it a healthier choice, especially when prepared skinless or with minimal added butter or oil. However, sodium levels can rise if heavily seasoned, so mindful preparation is key for heart health. Baked chicken pairs well with vegetables, whole grains, or salads, making it a balanced meal option for various dietary preferences. Its simplicity, adaptability, and health-conscious preparation make baked chicken a staple in nutritious meals.
