Tuna in water is okay, or tuna steak or fillet with the skin and fat trimmed off.
Chicken breast with the skin and fat trimmed off is okay too, not sure which is "better", though plain Tuna most likely has fewer calories you have to worry about all these pesky new claims that fish contain toxins and you aren't supposed to eat all that much of them!
What is really better for you? Veggies! Raw ones at that! Munch away McFatty, celery is the only proven vegetable to actually contain less calories than it takes to ingest (eat) it. You burn more calories chewing it than it actually contains! But any raw or lightly steamed veggies are the best things you can put in your stomach!

It's a toss up.
White chicken is a good lean protein, while tuna offers omega benefits with the downside of mercury.
I'd tend to go with chicken, a Kimkins Diet staple, because there's no limit. Tuna should be limited to 12 oz per week.

Tuna is diffently better for you
Tuna Canned in Brine
Tuna is lower in lower in fat and saturated fat than fresh tuna because of the canning process . Tuna canned in brine is a rich source of vitamin D, niacin, and vitamin B12 and a source of vitamin B6 and phosphorus. Tuna canned in brine is 25% higher in selenium than fresh tuna. A 100g serving of canned tuna in brine provides 400% of the Recommened Daily Allowances for vitamin B12 and 80% of the Recommened Daily Allowances for vitamin D and niacin.
Chicken has vitamin B1 and B6 and is also low in fats and calories

Tuna. It is leaner with less saturated fat and those omega-3 fish oils that are so good for you. Also it's not pumped full of hormones like chicken often is.

It is a debatable matter.
I like to incorporate all kinds of lean meat and fish into my diet so as not to become complacent with my diet and to add a variety of meal options.
Chicken, tuna, salmon (has good fats), other white fish, ground turkey, 99% fat free ground beef, steaks, etc.
Each of these offers something unique and essential for healthy dieting and living and therefore should all be incorporated into your diet.

Neither. They are both good for you. It is more about how they are prepared and how much are consumed.
