If you have a whole breast on the bone and with skin ( most juicy option ), then it will be prepared for a rather long time, at least 30 minutes. That is why when we say "chicken breast", mean 2 fillets, which are the result of the separation of meat from the bone, without skin. Here we will talk about them further. If you want to cook a whole breast, increase the time in each case by about 2.5 times.
How to cook chicken breast
The easiest way is to steam the chicken breast - this is the least likely to overcook it. Turn on the steamer or bring water to a boil in a saucepan ( about a third full). You can throw in various pleasant herbs and spices. Put the breast on a wire rack or in a sieve and close. A large breast will be steamed for 25 minutes, a small one - no more than 15. For a steamed breast, you can not use any seasonings - it turns out to be very tasty most in a natural way, often you don’t even want salt.
To really cook delicious breast in water, from this water it is better to make spicy bouillon, cooking in it onions, carrots, celery, peppercorns and stems herbs. Put the breast into the simmering broth, bring to a boil over medium heat, cook covered for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the breast. Then turn off the heat, close the lid tightly and let the breast stand in the broth for 15 minutes until it cools completely. A great way, absolutely win-win.
How to fry chicken breast
Before frying or baking it makes sense ( if you figured out that you will cook it in advance) soak the chicken breast in the so-called solinade - a strong solution with salt, sugar and other spicy additives ( garlic, aromatic herbs, spices). The solution should be cold, although it makes sense to boil and cool it in advance so that the salt and sugar dissolve and the additives give off their flavor.
For 1 liter of water you need to take 60 g sea salt and 40 g brown sugar, and additives to taste. In such a solution should lie for at least 2 hours, a maximum of a day. After that, the breast will be very juicy and tender, but you still need not overcook it.
Fry the breast, drying it and lightly beating it with a culinary mallet, in olive or ghee over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side without a lid. Then under the lid for another 3-5 minutes on each side over medium-low heat. Before serving, let the breast lie on a plate under a loosely covered piece of foil for 5-8 minutes.
Baked chicken breast
To bake breast, it must be smeared with butter - again melted or olive oil and put in the oven, heated to 160 ° C (no more!) For about 12 minutes - plus or minus 3 minutes, depending on the size. And then also let the breast lie down under the foil before serving.
In the oven, the breast turns out great in " envelope"from parchment - then it is better to add a little slightly fried vegetables, mushrooms, olives or herbs to it. The baking time and temperature are the same.
