What are the best tips for cooking chicken breast?

Let rest 5 minutes after cooking. Pound to even thickness for uniform results. A meat thermometer is your best friend here.

What internal temperature should chicken breast reach?

Chicken Breast should reach 165°F / 74°C for safe consumption.

Roast at 35–16 min. Brush with oil. Rest 5 min before slicing.

Air Fry at 18–12 min. Flip halfway through. Light oil spray.

Grill at 7–9 min/side. Don't press down — keeps juices in.

Sauté at 7–8 min/side. Pound to ¾″ thick first.

Poach at 12–15 min. Not a rolling boil. Gentle bubbles only.
