boneless breast

Chicken without skeleton

Boneless breast is a cut of poultry meat—usually chicken or turkey—with the bones removed, leaving only the flesh.

It's the most common form sold in supermarkets because it cooks quickly and requires no carving: I'll pick up some boneless breasts for the stir-fry.

The term occasionally appears in deli contexts for boneless breast of turkey sliced for sandwiches.
