Free-Range Chicken, Boneless Skinless Breast

Chicken is a versatile and adaptable protein that is served in countless ways across myriad cuisines. Despite being one of the most ubiquitous cuts of meat in the United States, chicken breast can also be one of the hardest to cook, often teetering a fine line between undercooked and dry. For tender, juicy chicken breasts, use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness. Cook chicken breasts to a temperature of 165 F, which is the minimum safe temperature for chicken.
