About Boneless skinless chicken breast

Boneless, skinless chicken breast is the breast muscle of chicken with the bones and skin removed. It is sold as whole breast portions or as thinner cutlets, and may be fresh or frozen. Raw meat is pale pink and relatively lean, with a mild flavour and a compact, smooth texture.

It is commonly roasted, grilled, pan-cooked, poached, or cut into pieces for other preparations. Because it has little skin or visible fat, it can become dry if overcooked. This description refers to plain breast meat, not seasoned, breaded, injected, or otherwise prepared products.
