About Chicken cupcakes

Chicken cupcakes are a creative savory dish often made by combining ground chicken, vegetables, eggs, and seasonings, then baking them in a muffin tin. Originating as a modern twist on traditional comfort foods, this dish provides a high-protein, low-carb alternative to typical cupcakes, making it popular in Western cuisine and among health-conscious eaters. Depending on the specific recipe, chicken cupcakes can be rich in lean protein, vitamins like B6, and minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. They are commonly tailored for keto, paleo, and high-protein diets by including nutrient-dense ingredients and avoiding processed additives.

• Contains vitamin B6, essential for proper brain development and function, with chicken providing about 0.5 mg per 100g (approximately 30% of the RDA).
• Rich in selenium, a mineral that functions as an antioxidant and supports immune health, providing 24 mcg (35% of the RDA) per 100g serving of chicken.
