There is almost no fat in chicken breast, so whether boiled, baked or fried, it is still “rubbery”, dry and tasteless.
But the breast is rich in protein and is useful at any age. The issue of juiciness can be solved with the help of several tricks.
Secrets of Juicy Chicken Breast
1. Cooking time plays a big role. If you overcook it, it will be dry. Therefore, fry on each side for 5 minutes, and keep it in the oven for half an hour.
2. Not only tough meat is beaten. Chicken breast will also be better after working with a hammer. The fibers will soften and the finished meat will be juicier and tastier.
3. Marinade is simply necessary in this case. It is enough to keep the meat in any mixture for 2-3 hours and the result will pleasantly surprise you.
4. To prevent the juice and fat from leaving the chicken, it is better to bake the meat in foil or a sleeve, and fry it in a breading of breadcrumbs and flour.
5. Chicken breast is cut into portions across the grain, not lengthwise.
