Chicken breast is a lean, white poultry meat from the chicken's breast region. It cooks quickly and dries out if overcooked. It is used grilled, sautéed, and boiled; it is also the base of chicken breast pudding (tavuk göğsü).
Where It's Used
“Pound the chicken breast thin and sauté it briefly to keep it from drying out.”
