Preparation
This row is skinless breast meat pan-fried without a coating: 187 kcal per 100 g against 165 roasted. The gap is absorbed cooking fat, about 2 g per 100 g — modest, because a bare breast takes up little oil. Breaded and deep-fried chicken is another food entirely; the coating soaks up fat and can double the calories per 100 g.
Logging this food
Weigh cooked and use this row, or weigh raw and use the raw row — a raw 170 g breast (204 kcal) fries down to about 125 g. Add the oil that stayed in the pan as its own line only if you poured it over the meat; the row already assumes a typical amount absorbed. USDA's half breast is 86 g, 161 kcal.
Swaps and alternatives
Roasting or grilling the same breast saves about 22 kcal per 100 g and nothing in protein (31 g against 33). Air-frying with a teaspoon of oil lands near the roasted row. For a fried texture at fewer calories, fried egg whites or tilapia cooked dry-heat (128 kcal) are the closest lean options.
