The breast part is the healthiest part of the chicken. It is the best option when you are on a diet or trying to be healthy, as it is high in protein and low in fat. The only downside is that it often lacks flavor. Unlike the other cuts, it can easily dry if not cooked properly. If your chicken breast always turns out dry and bland, let The Modern Nonna teach you how to make chicken breast extra juicy.

How to Make Juicy Chicken Breast
Step 1:
One side of the chicken breast is always thicker than the other, so you need to flatten it out. Place your chicken breast on top of a parchment paper, then place another parchment paper on top. Use a meat tenderizer to pound it evenly.
Step 2:
Season with salt and lemon pepper seasoning then drizzle avocado oil. Massage the chicken really well.
Step 3:
Heat the griddle with a little bit of oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until it reaches 165F. Once done cooking, do not slice it immediately. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Those few minutes are important to ensure that the chicken breast stays super juicy and fully cooked.
