Chef brehs, I need help, my chicken breast is dry af

[Da Jungles]

Pickle juice

 

[Digital Omen]

Even tried marinating it beforehand and my shyt was still dry anybody have any tips?


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?

45? surprised your shyt didn't spontaneously combust

Rub it with olive oil and then spice it
I set my oven at 400 and bake it for 20 min

JBO is —> way is you’re trying to see some juicy breast meat

Op, where did the 45 minutes come from? Seems arbitrary

 

[The Half-Blood FKA Prince]

Also breh, little pro tip, before brining/marinading, ur shyt will cook faster and more evenly if u cut the breast down, like into halves/thirds, and pound those strips down evenly with a meat mallet. U can go as thin or thick as u prefer, as long as u even out their thickness.


edit: obligatory

it looked done after 45 mins

Oh it WAS done
This your first time cooking chicken, bruh??

brine....

let come to room temp before cooking....cook using high heat (grill, high heat sautee/stir fry) and let rest before cutting (don't cut into them while cooking to check if it's done)

but better yet, use chicken thighs, the macros and cals aren't that different, don't know why people keep trying to convince themselves dry ass chicken breasts are the only way to be "healthy"

He said he was concerned about salmonella, and already can't properly bake a chicken breast, so I was trying to keep it simple. I remove mine around 160-162 and foil wrap it.

I wonder who told him to bake for 45 minutes. I don't know a recipe in the world where you bake chicken for 45 minutes. I don't think brining will even save that.

I asked him why 45 minutes, he pretty much said he was just eye-balling them lol. I've baked pastries and cobblers for 45 minutes

anyone try this? Ramsey adds butter and bastes it

 

[JealousOnesEn_V]

You’re cooking it at too high of a temp and way too long, it’s drying out the chicken. Pour a little bit of chicken broth (or water) in the pan. Don’t drown it but enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Thin slice of butter on top of each breast piece as well.

And of course brine the bird…

Chickens breasts are white meat.
Wouldn't be dry if it was that dark meat
