Instruction manual
For Caesar it’s best to take chicken breast, as this is the leanest part of the chicken. The most important thing in cooking is not to dry it.
So, take the chicken breast and rinse under cold water.
Cut the breast into portions so that after cooking they can immediately be put in the salad.
Put the slices in a deep bowl, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, add a little lemon juice (this will give the breast softness and improve its taste). Leave for half an hour.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven. Now you can choose an option that is convenient for you:
- bake breast with butter;
- bake the breast in foil.
When baking with butter, the chicken will have a tasty crust, but the meat will be easy to dry. When baking in foil, it will take you a little longer, there will be no crust, but the meat will not be overdried.
After you put the breast into the preheated oven, watch the time. Since the pieces are small, they will cook very quickly - in about 20 minutes.
For the first 15 minutes, bake the breast over medium heat so that it does not dry out. Before turning off, increase the temperature to the maximum: this will make the meat very tasty on the outside and remain juicy inside.
