„Chicken breast is a good budget choice for lean protein. There is no waste, and it cooks in minutes!
„

  • At $3 per pound, a standard 2 to 3 ounce serving only costs 50 cents.

  • „One pound of chicken breast (two half-breast pieces) provides enough protein for six servings.

  • „Chicken breast absorbs the great flavors of fruit and vegetable sauces.

 

Cutting Chicken Breast:

  • Cutlets for Six. Trim visible fat. Make two cuts with a knife so pieces are about the same thickness. Make the first cut across the narrow, thin side of the breast. Make the second cut through lengthwise on the thicker portion. 

  • Repeat the process for the second half-breast.

  • For stir-fry. Slice each cutlet across into ½ inch strips.

      *Now that you have a perfectly sliced chicken breast,          try it with our Stir-Fry Vegetables recipe!
