Absolutely. The method of cooking chicken breast can influence its health benefits. Grilling, baking, or steaming are generally healthier options. Avoid frying or charbroiling, as these methods can produce heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), compounds that have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. Using marinades, especially those containing antioxidants like lemon juice or vinegar, can also reduce the formation of these harmful compounds.
