Tips to cook chicken breast

For moist and tender chicken breasts every time:

  • Flatten the chicken breast.
  • Season the chicken breast generously.
  • If using a skillet on the stove and the recipe doesn’t give specific instructions, cook chicken breasts over medium heat for 1 minute without moving them. This will develop a nice “crust” on the chicken breast that will yield delicious flavor. Then flip it over and continue to cook chicken breasts on low.
  • You can cut the chicken breasts into cubes to help a marinade coat the chicken deeper, and speed up the cooking time in the pan or in the oven.
