Chicken breast is a classic high-protein food — but it’s not the only option. Whether you’re exploring plant-based alternatives or simply want variety in your meals, there are numerous foods with protein contents that meet or exceed that of chicken.

Here are eight foods that rival or beat chicken breast for protein per serving:

1. Tuna (canned in water)
2. Lentils (cooked)
3. Greek yoghurt
4. Cottage cheese
5. Eggs
6. Tofu (firm)
7. Quinoa
8. Pumpkin seeds

How to Incorporate These Foods Mix lentils into soups, swap chicken for tuna in salads, or snack on Greek yoghurt with seeds. Tofu and quinoa are fantastic in stir-fries or Buddha bowls.
