About Our Boneless Chicken Breast
Boneless chicken breast is the most versatile thing in this section and the easiest to ruin. It is almost pure lean muscle - no bone to regulate the heat, no skin to protect it, very little fat - so it cooks in minutes and dries out in seconds. Everything about cooking it well comes down to not overdoing it.
We trim ours properly: the tenderloin left on or removed as you prefer, the sinew taken out, and no ragged edges. Even thickness matters more than anything else, so ask us to butterfly or flatten them if you want them to cook uniformly. A breast opened out flat cooks in four minutes and stays juicy; a whole thick breast takes twelve and the outside is done long before the middle.
This is the cut for meal prep, salads, sandwiches, curries, grills and anything where you want protein without much fat. It is also the base of our house chicken burger patties. If you would rather have something more forgiving and more flavourful, boneless thighs are the better choice.
How to Cook Boneless Chicken Breast
- Butterfly or flatten to an even thickness - this single step fixes most dry chicken.
- A 30 minute brine in salted water keeps it noticeably juicier.
- Sear 3-4 minutes a side on a flattened breast, then rest 5 minutes off the heat.
- It is cooked at 74C in the thickest part. Past that you are losing moisture.
- Slice across the grain, never with it, or it shreds.

Yes, and at no extra charge - it is the whole point of buying from a butcher rather than a chiller cabinet. Tell us the thickness, trim, portion size or preparation you want in the notes when you order, or just describe what you are cooking and let us choose. We butcher whole carcasses at City Market, so the options are real.

Three to four days in the coldest part of the fridge, loosely covered so the surface dries rather than sweats. To freeze, portion into meal sizes, press flat, wrap tightly and label. Thaw overnight in the fridge, never on the counter, and do not refreeze thawed raw meat.
