Butterfly Breast 500g
£5.10
A raw butterfly chicken breast is a fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breast that has been prepared using the “butterflying” technique. In this method, the breast is sliced horizontally almost all the way through, then opened up and flattened, so it resembles a butterfly. This preparation is done to ensure the meat has a uniform thickness, which results in quicker and more even cooking.
Key characteristics
- Even thickness: By evening out the breast’s naturally thicker end, the butterflying technique prevents the thinner parts from drying out before the thicker section is fully cooked.
- Faster cooking time: Flattening the meat reduces the overall cooking time, making it ideal for quick-cooking methods such as grilling, pan-frying, or barbecuing.
- Tender texture: The process of flattening the breast can help to tenderize the meat, ensuring a juicy and tender result.
- Versatile for stuffing and marinating: The increased surface area allows marinades to penetrate the meat more effectively, and the open shape is perfect for stuffing with fillings before folding it back together.Â
Culinary uses
- Stuffed chicken: It can be filled with ingredients like cheese, spinach, or herbs, then folded and cooked.
- Quick pan-frying: The even thickness allows for quick searing and cooking in a skillet, making it ideal for weeknight dinners.
- Grilling and barbecuing: The flattened shape cooks perfectly on a grill, ensuring an even char and consistent results.
- Chicken cutlets: By slicing the breast completely in half after butterflying, you can create two thinner chicken cutlets.Â
