How to cook juicy chicken fillet: the main nuances

Subtleties of cooking

Yevgeny Klopotenko believes that this part of the chicken does not need to be cooked whole. The fillet consists of a large and a small part. It is on them that this piece of meat should be cut. Then take a saucepan or a small saucepan. Place the fillet in the dish of your choice. Fill it with 1.5 liters of clean water, which must be cold. After the liquid completely covers the meat, the pan can be sent to the stove by setting medium heat.

Then add a teaspoon of salt and the necessary spices to the water. Important! It is not necessary to cover the pot with a lid. As for water, the chicken must be placed in a cold liquid. Only then will the meat be juicy. After all, boiling water contributes to the destruction of the structure of the protein. And the fillet, due to the lack of gradual heating, turns out to be dry.
