Let’s be honest – chicken breast gets a bad rap for being dry and bland. But these 3 methods prove it can be:
✅ Juicy (no more sawdust texture)
✅ Flavor-packed (goodbye, plain steamed chicken)
✅ Meal-prep friendly (tastes great reheated)

- 150g chicken breast
- 1 large tomato
- 45g mixed veggies
- Marinade: black pepper, salt, cornstarch
Steps:
1、Cube chicken, marinate 20 mins
2、Cook tomato into saucy pulp 
3、Add chicken & veggies – done!
Pro Tip: Add a splash of balsamic for extra zing
Oil-Free Chicken Tenders
Review: Perfect as a snack—you won’t be able to stop eating them!
1、Wash and cut 140g of chicken breast into strips. Lightly pound with the back of a knife (to tenderize the meat) and place in a bowl.
2、Add 2 tbsp cooking wine, 1 tbsp yogurt, 1 egg white, a pinch of salt, chili powder, and black pepper. Mix well and marinate for 20 minutes.
*Yogurt helps tenderize the chicken breast. Skip the chili powder if you prefer a non-spicy version.
3、Spread 25g of breadcrumbs on a plate. Coat each marinated chicken strip evenly with breadcrumbs.
4、Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, arrange the breaded chicken tenders, and bake in the middle rack for 20 minutes.
*Adjust baking time based on thickness—reduce to 15 minutes if the strips are thinner.
Salt-Baked Chicken Breast
Review: Savory and juicy, ready in about 15 minutes!
1、Wash and pat dry 1 piece of chicken breast. Slice it horizontally into two pieces and lightly pound with the back of a knife or a meat tenderizer.
2、Coat the chicken with ½ tbsp cooking wine, then rub in ½ tbsp salt-baked chicken seasoning and a pinch of sea salt. Drizzle a little oil on the surface and place a few slices of ginger on top. Marinate for 20 minutes.
3、Lightly grease the bottom of an electric rice cooker with oil. Add the chicken breast and 2 tbsp water, then cook for 8 minutes on the “cook” setting.
4、Once one side turns golden, flip and cook for another 6 minutes. Salt-baked chicken breast is done!
