A cooked, skinless chicken breast contains approximately 31 to 32 grams of protein per 100 grams. For example, a typical cooked chicken breast weighing about 170-175 grams provides roughly 54 to 56 grams of protein

. Raw chicken breast has slightly less protein per 100 grams, around 22 grams, but cooking reduces water content and concentrates the protein

. Chicken breast is considered a high-protein, low-fat meat, making it popular for muscle building and weight management

. In summary:

• Protein in cooked, skinless chicken breast: ~31-32 g per 100 g
• Protein in a typical cooked breast (~170 g): ~54-56 g

This makes chicken breast one of the leanest and richest protein sources among chicken cuts
