Due to their low fat content and high protein content, chicken breasts are the most popular part of the chicken. By nature, white meat has an uneven texture, which requires strict preparation rules. Chicken cubes cook faster than whole pieces and can be used as a base for salads and main dishes. Frying raw pieces in a frying pan at a high temperature ensures that the meat cooks quickly and evenly, which cannot be said about a whole piece of breast.
You will need:- Cutting board.
- Sharp knife.
- A bowl.
- Marinade (optional).
- Seasonings.
- Olive oil.
- Spatula or wooden spoon.
- Digital meat thermometer.
- Medium frying pan.
- Aluminium foil.
- Two boneless chicken breasts.
- Never guess the internal temperature of a chicken by eye. Use a digital thermometer for this.
- When tasting a piece during frying, check several pieces in different places in the pan.
- Olive oil can be replaced with other types of oils. Coconut oil is good for cooking meat because it has high temperature frying
Following these simple steps, as a result, you can get a juicy piece of evenly fried chicken breast.
Anyone interested in proper nutrition knows that chicken breast is an excellent dietary source of protein, which is why it is so often included in a healthy diet. But many have a prejudice against this wonderful and healthy product; breast is associated with dry and tasteless meat, which must be literally crammed into oneself. I confidently declare that this is not true! You just need to know some of the nuances of cooking, and then you will be able to fry the chicken breast juicy, soft and very appetizing.
How to choose a chicken breast to fry deliciously?
It is better to cook a chilled breast rather than a defrosted one; it will retain all the liquid, which ultimately guarantees tenderness of the meat. Or, if you really had to choose a frozen breast, defrost it very slowly, in the refrigerator, so that a minimum of water comes out of it. This, however, applies to any frozen meat and fish.
Fry the chicken breast juicy.
1. Cut the breasts lengthwise so that the pieces are not thick (about 2 cm maximum) - this way they will quickly fry on the inside without having time to dry out on the outside.
2. Heat the frying pan well, you can grease it with a little oil, or you can even do without it (depending on what kind of frying pan you have). Place the pieces of meat, sprinkle with your favorite seasonings if you want (except salt!) and fry over fairly high heat for about 3 minutes on each side until an appetizing crust forms.
3. Then cover the frying pan with a lid (you can leave a small crack if you want to keep the crispy crust) and bring the meat until cooked - this will take another 2-3 minutes. I repeat, thanks to thin pieces, readiness is achieved very quickly! You can check it by piercing the meat with a fork.
4. Salt the chicken breast at the end (and I, for example, often don’t salt the breasts at all, it’s delicious for me anyway).
Try to use this algorithm and fry chicken fillet this way, and you will be surprised how juicy and truly pleasant to the taste (and “bite”) it can be :)
