Chicken slices are prepared slices of chicken breast, with the data covering smoked and wafer-thin products. They mainly provide protein, with smaller amounts of fat and carbohydrate. Per 100g, they contain 23g of protein, 1.5g of fat, 0.4g of saturated fat and 1.4g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues and helps maintain muscles. Chicken slices also provide niacin and vitamin B6, which help the body release and use energy from food. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Salt levels can vary between products, so labels can help with comparisons. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (7 samples including smoked and wafer thin chicken breast. 80-100% meat). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
