The secret to tender, moist chicken breasts is a coat of seasoned flour to seal the exterior and keep the juices inside.
Ingredients
Instructions
Mix flour and seasoning. Coat breasts with seasoned flour.
Heat oil in a large skillet over a moderate heat.
Add chicken breasts and cook 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook a further 2-3 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked inside and golden brown outside - juices should run clear.
Remove from skillet and keep warm.
Spoon sauce over cooked chicken, garnish if desired, and serve.
Notes
Remove the chicken inner fillets, or chicken tenders, so breasts will cook evenly. You can freeze and save them to use later. To remove the inner fillets, place breasts smooth side down and carefully pull them off.
For speed, mix flour, salt and pepper in a clean plastic bag, add breasts, keep closed with your hand and gently shake. The result will be perfectly even flour coated chicken breasts.
Choose one of the suggestions for pan fried chicken breast sauces and sides to have a wholesome family dinner, or elegant formal dinner dish.
