Chicken Fillet
The fillet is a smaller, more delicate strip of meat found beneath the chicken breast. It is ideal for quick cooking and is commonly used in fried, grilled, or barbecued dishes. Chicken fillet is rich in protein, which is important for preventing bone density loss in the elderly. However, consuming high-protein diets can exacerbate osteoporosis.
Chicken fillet contains more sodium than chicken breast, making it a less suitable choice for those watching their sodium intake.
Since the fillet is cut right next to the chicken breast, its taste is very similar. However, due to its slightly higher sodium content, more fat, and tender texture, some people find fillets more flavorful. Like chicken breasts, fillets easily absorb marinades and seasonings, enhancing the final taste of the cooked meat.
Substitution
Chicken fillets can be substituted for chicken breasts and vice versa! Keep in mind, though, that while they are easy to interchange, they are not identical. Chicken fillets are smaller than breasts, so you may not have the exact amount needed for your recipe. Fillets also cook faster and are more tender, which may require adjustments to cooking time and seasoning.
Overall, substituting fillets for breasts works well in many recipes, especially when a quicker cooking time and softer texture are desired.
