Sliced Chicken Breast 500g
£6.50
Sliced chicken breast refers to raw, boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been cut into even, uniform pieces, such as thin cutlets, strips, or cubes. This preparation makes the chicken suitable for a wide variety of quick-cooking recipes.Â
Key characteristics
- Lean and high in protein: As with whole chicken breasts, this cut is a very lean source of protein and low in fat.
- Ready to cook: The pre-sliced format saves preparation time and is convenient for quick weeknight meals.
- Ideal for even cooking: Since the pieces are uniform in size, they cook at the same rate, preventing overcooked, dry pieces and undercooked pieces.
- Sized for specific dishes: Sliced chicken can be found as thin cutlets for pan-frying or as strips and cubes for stir-fries, tacos, and curries.Â
Culinary uses
Sliced chicken breast is a versatile ingredient for a variety of quick-cooking preparations:
- Stir-fries: The thin strips cook quickly and absorb marinades well, making them perfect for stir-fries.
- Pasta dishes: Sliced or cubed chicken can be added to pasta, such as creamy garlic or Tuscan pasta, for a boost of protein.
- Tacos and fajitas: Thinly sliced chicken strips are ideal for fajitas and tacos.
- Salads and wraps: Cooked sliced chicken is excellent for topping salads or stuffing wraps and sandwiches.
- Curries and stews: Diced chicken breast can be used in curries or soups for a hearty texture.Â
Preparation tips
- Marinades: Since the meat is already cut, it can be marinated for a shorter time, about 15–30 minutes, to tenderize and infuse flavor.
- Cooking methods: Sliced chicken breast can be pan-fried, air-fried, baked, or grilled.
- Preventing dryness: Since chicken breast is lean, cooking it hot and fast for a short time can help keep it juicy. You can also cover it while cooking to lock in moisture.
