breast meat
Lean chicken portion
Breast meat is the flesh from the breast of poultry, especially chicken or turkey.
It's the leanest cut, prized for being tender and mild but prone to drying out when overcooked.
I prefer dark meat, but my husband only eats breast meat.
Often shortened to simply breast: boneless skinless chicken breast.
