There’s a simple solution to fix dry and flavorless chicken breasts: Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts to significantly improve the flavor of your dishes.
Bone-in, skin-on chicken breast retains more moisture during cooking, with the bone acting as an insulator to prevent dryness and promote even cooking.
The skin provides protection, flavor, and a crispy texture. To prevent overcooking, use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s at 165 degrees Fahrenheit, avoiding contact with the bone.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before you begin slicing. This will help the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken breast moist.
Maintain the juiciness of chicken breast during cooking with methods like brining the chicken in a saltwater solution, using wet marinades with acidity, and pan-searing in hot oil.
