Easiest/best way to cook chicken breast

[wtg]

Haven't tried it, though it sounds promising. Of course I'm the "hope springs eternal" type.

Anyone cook their chicken this way?

Chicken a la French sear. I’ll try it!

I’d try it.

Me too. I find that cooking by temperature works for me pretty well, plus I usually brine chicken first.

But I've bookmarked this, so I will try it, although it takes longer.

I tried the recipe and it lives up to the hype. The chicken breast was perfectly done, moist, and tender. Should also note that I had two very different size chicken breasts (Costco's packages are notorious for that) and I cooked them together and didn't adjust the time for size. They were both perfect.

While the chicken was resting on a plate I made a pan sauce. Reduced the liquid that was left (I had used chicken broth), added a bit of mustard and a tablespoon of butter. Lots of options to change this up, from what seasoning you use on the chicken initially to additions to the pan sauce at the end.

A definite winner for me.

Thanks
Will try that.

Trying now. I only did two breasts, so I only used half cup of water.

I did not find it as good as brining and gentle sautéing. They were a bit dry, but then I did not follow the directions precisely and they were fairly small pieces.
