Chicken is naturally a very lean protein, but if you don’t watch carefully, you can pick a cut that isn’t lean. The skin of chicken does contain fat, so you want to make sure you select boneless, skinless products if you’re trying to select lean cuts. As an alternative to chicken, turkey also produces flavorful and lean white meat. Here’s a list of lean cuts of poultry:
