Keeping chicken breast moist during cooking involves a few key steps: Proper Seasoning: Season the chicken well before cooking. This not only adds flavor but also helps to retain moisture. Searing: Sear the chicken breasts over medium heat to lock in the juices. This creates a barrier that helps keep the moisture inside the meat. Even Thickness: Pound the chicken to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Thinner slices or evenly tenderized pieces cook more consistently, reducing the risk of drying out. Avoid Overcooking: Overcooked chicken can become dry, so it’s important to cook it just until it reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Using a meat thermometer can help you gauge this accurately. Simmering: In our recipe, the process of simmering the chicken in a flavorful broth after searing helps to keep it moist and tender, as the liquid provides a moist cooking environment.
