After years of putting up with dry chicken breast I finally discovered how to cook a tasty, moist and healthy chicken breast and I'd like to share it:
What you need:
Chicken breast
marinade or dry rub of your choice
oil (I rotate using coconut, canola or olive)
large cast iron skillet (the kind that can also go into the oven)
Meat thermometer with temperature alert (this is the key to avoid drying out the chicken)
Walmart.com : Weber-Stephen Audible Meat Thermometer : Grilling
I found one for under $20 at a kitchen store
Cooking:
Set oven to 350
Heat skillet over med heat
Lightly oil chicken and apply dry rub (if you go with a marinade, soak for a couple of hours)
Sear each side of breast until you get nice crust on the chicken
Insert the thermometer probe into the thick part of the chicken
Set thermometer to alert you once chicken reaches 165 degrees
Remove chicken from oven, transfer to cutting board, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
I've been slicing it on a bias and serving it that way and then using the left overs for sandwiches.
Enjoy
