Prepare a delicious chicken fillet. At first glance, there's nothing complicated. But sometimes chicken breast becomes dry or loses taste when cooked. There are several tips to follow for cooking chicken breast correctly. • Defrost chicken breast only in the refrigerator or on a plate, so the protein structure isn't destroyed. The meat should be at room temperature. **Never defrost chicken in water!** • Cook the chicken breast whole without cutting, this will make the meat as juicy as possible. Immerse the meat in boiling water (**not cold!**) to preserve the protein structure as much as possible. • As soon as the water boils again - TURN OFF the stove, cover the pan with a lid. After 20 minutes, you'll have the most succulent and tender chicken fillet. • For additional flavor and taste, you can add spices or root vegetables (such as carrots, garlic, celery) before boiling the water. To make the spices even more aromatic, they can be preheated in a dry pan. • A unique life hack is to use a vacuum bag. The fillet will turn out more tender and juicy, and the protein will stay in the meat. Add a few drops of olive oil, some spicy herbs and throw them in a pot for 15-20 minutes.
