Eating chicken regularly supplies your body with essential vitamins and nutrients, including magnesium, iron, zinc, vitamin E, pyridoxine, niacin, riboflavin and thiamin. The protein-rich chicken is also essential for maintaining blood cells, cartilage, skin, muscles and bones. Proteins are also required for creating enzymes and hormones.
