To Make the Chicken Breasts Tastier and More Tender, Push Them Evenly
If you want to cook juicy and tender chicken breasts every time, be sure to follow this important step: chop them all to the same thickness.
Seasoned chefs probably already know this simple tip, but even those of us who have heard it before may forget to make it.
The tasting chart explains why this is the key to improving chicken breasts:
When each chicken is a different size, the cooking speed will be uneven. If you don’t chop them, some breasts will cook faster than others, causing thinner breasts to dry out and thicker ones being undercooked. In addition, mincing makes the meat more tender, making the cooked result more tender.
Another bonus is that they cook faster , especially if you cut the chicken breasts into cutlets and then crush them. In addition, crushing a chicken on a flat surface can be therapeutic. Use a meat hammer if you have one, a rolling pin, or a skillet.
