Juicy Chicken Breast Recipes
Chicken breast is lean, quick to cook and easy to overcook. These recipes give exact times for each method and tell you when to check for 74°C (165°F), and most flatten the breasts to an even thickness first so they cook evenly and stay juicy.
Start with juicy baked chicken breast, pan-seared chicken breast or air fryer chicken breast for meal prep and salads, or make a full dinner such as chicken parmesan, Marry Me chicken, chicken piccata, honey mustard chicken, chicken fajitas or spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep chicken breast from drying out?
Pound or butterfly the breasts to an even thickness, cook them just until the thickest part reaches 74°C (165°F), and rest them for 5 minutes before slicing.
What temperature should chicken breast be cooked to?
Cook chicken breast until the thickest part reads 74°C (165°F) on an instant-read thermometer.
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes. Boneless thighs stay juicier and usually need a few minutes longer. Cook them to at least 74°C (165°F).
How long does cooked chicken breast keep?
Refrigerate cooked chicken within 2 hours in an airtight container and eat it within 4 days. Whole or sliced cooked chicken breast also freezes for up to 3 months.
