How to cook chicken breast without drying it out
The number one complaint about chicken breast is that it is dry and boring. The fix is simple: do not overcook it. Use a meat thermometer and pull it at 74 degrees Celsius. Pound thick breasts to even thickness before cooking. Marinate in Greek yogurt, lemon and garlic for 30 minutes. Brine in salt water for 15 minutes. These techniques guarantee juicy chicken breast every single time.
