Tried baking it in the oven for 45 mins or so, also tried cooking it in a pan and either way it ends up pretty dry. Anybody have any pointers on how to safely cook chicken breast without it being tough/dry?

Brine your chicken.

Doesn’t matter how you’re preparing it or the cut.

I'm no chef breh but I've made a dry chicken a few times. You're either cooking at too high temperature or cooking the chicken too long, get you a food thermometer and keep an eye on it when you're cooking

Marinate overnight.
Pressure cook 20 mins at 15 lbs.
(Lemon/vinegar/yellow onion added)

Remove and pan sear.

Season.

Step your game up, move to chicken thighs

Changed my life

Don’t listen to none of these nikkas if they talking marinade and not brine.

at what temperature?

I been throwing chicken breasts in the air fryer lately.

 

[LadyJ2]

Brine, baby, brine.

My kids used get mad when I would tell them they gotta wait until tomorrow for chicken because I didn’t brine it. Once they tasted the difference they don’t complain anymore.

how long would you recommend cooking chicken breast?

I'm not trying to get salmonella out here.

Go for chicken thigh instead. Fattier. If you make it in a pan also dab it dry before so it will take less time to sear, losing less moisture in the process. In a pan not too high heat or it will be raw inside and seared too much on the outside.
