How to Cook Thin Sliced Chicken Breast
Cooking thin sliced chicken breast is simple once you know a few key tricks. These tips will help you keep the meat tender, juicy, and full of flavor every time:
- Cook quickly over medium-high heat to lock in juices without drying the chicken out.
- Pound the chicken to an even thickness so it cooks evenly in the skillet, oven, or on the grill.
- Use marinades, seasonings, or sauces to add flavor and keep the chicken moist.
Insider Tips from My Kitchen to Yours
✔️ DO use a digital meat thermometer to make sure chicken cutlets reach 165°F—cooked through but still juicy.
❌ DO NOT overcook thin cutlets, or they’ll dry out quickly and lose their tenderness.
