Poultry

Boneless

Boneless breast is the workhorse fillet of global poultry—fast, mild, versatile, and easy to overcook. Even thickness is the cook’s friend: pound or butterfly thick ends so the whole piece finishes together. Brine briefly, sear or grill hot, and pull as soon as juices run clear or temperature hits target. Slice across the grain for salads and sandwiches. Sauces, crumbs, and marinades compensate for leanness. Never walk away from a thin fillet on high heat.
