Chicken

Chicken is a lean protein that's a versatile ingredient in many dishes. It's high in protein and low in fat, and contains many essential nutrients.

Chefs often choose chicken because of its versatility, affordability, and ability to be prepared in many different ways, making it a crowd-pleaser while also allowing for creative culinary expression; it's a great canvas to showcase cooking skills, especially when using high-quality cuts and techniques to elevate the often perceived "basic" nature of chicken dishes.
