Without a doubt the most underrated piece of poultry in the game is the humble chicken breast. Often overshadowed by its darker richer counterpart the chicken thigh chicken breasts are often portrayed as the dry flavorless part of the bird that you should be dieting on. Well I’m here to tell you that when cooked properly a chicken breast can be incredibly juicy and a great starting point for whatever flavor profile you’re looking for. If your chicken breasts aren’t turning out exactly how you want them there are a ton of common mistakes you could be falling victim to. Here’s where you might be going wrong.

I’m sure everyone can relate to that feeling of realizing that your significant other (or parent whatever) is on their way home from work and they asked you to grab some chicken from the freezer earlier in the day… but you completely forgot. Sigh. These days chicken breasts can be quite large and thick which means you shouldn’t count on defrosting them from the freezer in an hour.
