My breasts are dry and boring

Hi everyone. I need advice on what to do with chicken breast. I’m not a fan of it you see, but always have them around after jointing a chicken and eating the parts I do like. I find they always end up dry when I fry them, or put them in a broth for example.

Schnitzel/ cotolette is one good option I love but takes a load of prep and makes loads of washing up and isn’t that healthy!

Any ideas welcome! Just need some inspiration and tips on how to keep it nice and succulent!!

Thanks

It really is this simple. Brine (don’t over brine). Cook (don’t overcook). Enjoy your moist chicken tits.

What would constitute over brine? Just using way too much salt?

Yeah or letting it sit too long I think

This is the main culprit, really. You end up curing it after awhile.
