Greetings!!
Both chicken and paneer is high in protein content. Instead of broiler chicken, country chicken can be used to get a adequate protein. Homemade paneer can be taken instead of storebought ones.

In terms of protein content chicken is the best. Paneer contains 12-18 g of protein per 100g and chicken contains 30g of protein per 100g.
Both options are excellent and you can eat both. The only thing which makes these items bad - restaurant preparation where they puts a lot of white butter along with many taste enhancers. If you make it at home with normal ingredients it will not cause any harm. Remember I am talking about home made paneer with toned milk. Home made chicken flesh is not possible so you need to buy from shop. 😂

If, you are a vegetarian then paneer is a great source of protein for you. 100gm of paneer contains about 14 gm of protein (twice than a egg). It also offers potassium, vitamins, calcium and some other healthy nutrients to the body.
100 gm of chicken on the other hand contains 27gm of protein. If you are a non-vegetarian than chicken is a great protein-source.
Paneer, compared to chicken, has less protein per 100 grams, but it also has a good amount of cholesterol which keeps your blood flow in check. Paneer also contains sodium in a contained amount in contrast to the chicken.
That said, for muscle building and repair, chicken is the better alternative. Paneer vs chicken digestion is also a key factor in determining the better one of the two. Paneer is typically easier to digest in contrast to chicken, but you can boil the chicken if you feel that it is too stiff. So more or less it depends on you that what is the requirement.

Both are good source of protein. Paneer is good when it is homemade. Paneer take less time to digest so if you want to add paneer in dinner as a protein source it is excellent. And chicken roasted or grilled and chicken breast can be included in lunch but chicken soup can be take in dinner.
All sea food are good source of protein.

Gud morning both are good the way u cook or prepare food to eat matters a lot, try to avoid deep fried gravy spicy n masala rich preparation rather try to eat foods in the forms of grilled or baked or roasted or stewed or clear soup form, marinate paneer or chicken and then kept aside for few mins then cook it in less oil.
