chicken breast
Boneless cutlet option
Chicken breast is the cut of meat from the front of a chicken, prized for being lean and versatile.
It's the most popular cut in American cooking, appearing grilled, baked, fried, or sliced for salads and sandwiches.
Boneless, skinless chicken breast dominates supermarket cases, though bone-in versions retain more moisture when cooked.
