PERFECT BONELESS SKINLESS CHICKEN BREASTS EVERY TIME

Categories     Chicken     Sauté     Low Carb     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Low/No Sugar     Healthy

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon freshly chopped herbs (optional)
Olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
Equipment: 10-inch sauté pan with well fitting LID

Steps:

  • 1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness with the handle or flat of a knife or meat mallet. 2. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken breasts. 3. Mix about a half teaspoon of salt in with the flour along with a little pepper. Chop the herbs finely, if using them, and mix in as well. 4. Quickly dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, so that they are just lightly dusted with flour. 5. Heat the sauté pan over medium-high heat. Wait, and when it is quite hot, add the olive oil and butter. Let them melt, and swirl the pan. 6. Turn the heat to medium. Add the chicken breasts. Cook for just about 1 minute to help them get a little golden on one side (you are not actually searing or browning them). Then flip each chicken breast over. 7. Turn the heat to low. Put the lid on the pan. Set a timer for 10 minutes, and walk away. Do not lift the lid; do not peek. 8. After 10 minutes have elapsed, turn off the heat/remove pan from heat. Reset the timer for 10 minutes and leave the chicken breasts in the pan. Again, do not lift the lid; do not peek. 9. After the 10 minutes are up, take the lid off, and tada! Soft, tender, juicy chicken breasts that aren't dried out in the least. Double check them to make sure there is no pink in the middle. If you want to be absolutely sure it is cooked, you can use an instant-read thermometer to check (the chicken should be at least 165°F). Slice and eat.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer: This is the only way to ensure that your chicken breasts are cooked through to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Rest your chicken: Let your chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Don't just stick to one cooking method. Try different methods, such as baking, grilling, pan-frying, or roasting, to find the one that you like best.
  • Experiment with different seasonings and marinades: There are endless possibilities when it comes to seasoning and marinating chicken breasts. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and sauces to find the flavors that you enjoy the most.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken breasts in a skillet, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can cook perfect chicken breasts every time. Whether you're baking, grilling, pan-frying, or roasting, you'll be able to achieve juicy, tender, and flavorful chicken that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these chicken breast recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
