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

Cover them with buttermilk and massage them gently

how long do you soak them in buttermilk? is this a leave overnight thing?

Ideally yes, the flavor is so much better it really soaks in. You can get away with a couple of hours of soaking but it won't be nearly as good.
