Tips for Perfect Chicken Breasts

  • Chicken Breasts are lean, do not overcook or they will dry out.
  • Use a meat thermometer (chicken breasts should reach 165°F).
  • Season chicken breasts generously and add a little bit of oil to help get some color on the outside.
  • Chicken breasts can range in size from 5oz to 10oz, the average recipe uses a 6oz chicken breast.
  • Ensure you select breasts that are about the same size for your recipe so they cook for the same amount of time.
