Chicken breast is a dietary product, while its meat is tender and tasty. But there is one drawback - there is little meat juice in the breasts. Therefore, in order for the meat to turn out juicy, you need to know how to cook it correctly in a pan.

Chicken breast in a pan in sour cream sauce

Chicken breast in sour cream sauce is the easiest way to cook delicious white meat in a skillet. This dish goes well with pasta, rice, fresh vegetables and any other side dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 chicken breast;
• 130 ml sour cream;
• salt and pepper to taste;
• coriander to taste.

Preparation:

We wash the breast, dry it, cut into cubes about 2-3 cm thick

Preheat a frying pan with butter, lay out the meat pieces and fry with occasional stirring until white

Then sprinkle the meat with salt, pepper and coriander, mix

Now add the fermented milk product, mix again and simmer the dish for 20 minutes

Experienced chefs advise buying chicken breast for cooking, not fillet. The presence of a bone prevents the meat from drying out quickly, and the skin protects a small layer of fat underneath. Therefore, breast dishes are more juicy and tasty

Juicy chicken chops

Chops can be cooked in a pan, either from pork, beef or chicken breast. The dish turns out to be insanely tasty and juicy, and all thanks to the garlic water.

Ingredients:

• chicken breast;
• garlic;
• eggs;
• salt and pepper;
• flour.

Preparation:

We wash the poultry breasts and cut them across into three plates, each of which we cover with foil and beat off with a hammer on both sides

Then we mix salt and pepper and sprinkle each piece on all sides with the resulting mixture, put it in a bowl

• Now squeeze the garlic into a bowl of water. We take a spicy vegetable to taste, but there should be at least 5 cloves.
• Pour the meat pieces with garlic water and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours, or better for 12 hours.

Drive 2-3 eggs into a bowl, shake. Pour flour into a separate plate

Now we bread each piece of breast in flour, and then dip it in the egg mixture

Put butter in a hot pan and fry on both sides until golden brown

You should try to cut the breast into pieces of the same thickness, so that it does not happen that the thin edge will already dry out, and the thicker one will only be cooked.

Chicken breast in sour cream batter

Chicken breast can be cooked in a skillet in sour cream batter. It is thanks to the fermented milk product that the batter turns out to be airy and fluffy, and the meat itself, both juicy and very tasty.

3. Pour the sifted flour into the resulting mixture and bring the batter to the desired consistency, namely, like a dough for pancakes. The exact amount of flour will depend on the size of the eggs and the fat content of the fermented milk product.
4. Dip the chicken pieces into the sour cream batter and put them in a pan with already heated oil.
5. Fry meat on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Then we spread it on a napkin to remove excess fat from the finished dish.
