About Chicken breast
Chicken breast is the pectoral portion of a chicken, sold with or without its skin and bones. The flesh is generally pale pink when raw and becomes opaque when cooked; its texture is relatively lean and can be firm or dry if cooked for a long time. It is commonly sold whole, split into halves, or cut into smaller pieces.
It is widely used roasted, grilled, pan-cooked, poached, or added to other preparations. Retail forms include bone-in or boneless cuts, skin-on or skinless cuts, and fresh or frozen meat. Because trimming and preparation differ, the name alone does not establish whether skin or bones are included.
