What is it?

A plain grilled chicken breast is a boneless, skinless cut seasoned lightly and cooked over direct heat with very little added fat. It is the lean-protein staple of gym meal-prep boxes from Los Angeles to Singapore.

Office workers in hot, humid cities such as Singapore, around 31°C most of the year, often buy it in salad or rice bowls as a light lunch. At home it is the usual base for a simple week of meal prep.

Cooked well, it is juicy with smoky char lines; overcooked, it turns dry and stringy. Marinades, oils and sauces change the total, so count them separately.
