This is How You Make Perfectly Cooked Chicken Breasts

- Cooking perfect chicken breasts can be challenging but I’ve got an absolutely fool proof procedure that I’ve been using for years and it works every single time.
Understanding cooking techniques are the fundamental most important things when it comes to cooking and perfectly pan roasting this chicken falls under that umbrella.
Ingredients for this Recipe:
2 7-9 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ peeled small diced shallot
2 finely minced cloves of garlic
¼ cup chardonnay wine
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh thyme
sea salt and pepper to taste
Serves 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Rest Time: 4 minutes
Procedures:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°.
2. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Next, add a large frying pan to a burner over high heat and let sit for :20 to :30 seconds before adding in the olive oil.
4. Once the oil begins to lightly smoke add in the chicken breasts and immediately turn the heat down to medium-high. Note: If it is a hot burner then turn it down to medium.
5. Cook the chicken breasts in between 3 ½ to 4 minutes. Flip it over and add to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes at 375°.
6. Remove from the oven and let rest on a cutting board for 2 to 4 minutes, it’s ok if it’s a few minutes longer.
7. Next, add the pan back to the cook top over medium heat and add in the shallots and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
8. Deglaze with optional white wine and cook until it is almost completely absorbed.
9. Pour in the chicken stock and cook on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
10. Finish with butter, thyme, salt and pepper.
11. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce.
CHEF NOTES:
• I like to use either cast iron pans or stainless-steel pans since they are environmentally friendly and don’t give off any funky chemicals.
• It’s important to buy chicken breasts between 7 and 9 ounces in weight. Large 1-pound chicken breasts are not normal, and you should caution using them.
• Remember that just because food is removed from the heat, it does not stop cooking. Always add 1 to 2 minutes into your total cooking time to account for carry over cooking.
• If the oil is so hot that it is rolling smoke that means it’s burning and needs to be discarded.
• There should be no sign of raw pink chicken in the middle of the breast. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Being in a Latin household, the oven is more like storage, LOL. I wished you did pan only recipe haha.
Im Chinese and it’s the same here, wish he didn’t bring up the oven😢
I just want kenobi
As a white American I can say that when my mom and I cook chicken we generally cook it on high for 4 minutes then flip it over and cook for 3-4 minutes again. Don't worry about the oven, haha.
100% agree hahah
Lmao spot on
Thank you so much for this. This is one of the first cooking videos I've seen that is ACTUALLY good for beginners, and it felt very comforting having every single thing that I felt confused about clearly explained to me. A lot of people seem to take cooking knowledge for granted, so they don't even bother teaching about the basics like which oil and pan to use. So thank you :)
Thanks for watching!
I love How you do it easy and perfect tanks you
I agree. I need to know the finer details that seem to shape the entire meal!
You're right, you can start cooking from this video!😉
*@**3:06** I take video to store, they say pan is mild steel not cast iron. I say "no way", they pull out exact pan, say "here you go". I make chicken. Delicious, thank you. Steel great.*
Just made it for dinner and I never thought I could make chicken breast this juicy! It was delicious, I am making chicken like this from now on. You are the best! Thank you chef!!!
Fantastic
my boyfriend was impressed by this chicken, and he's rarely impressed with any of my cooking haha so THANK YOU!!
Lol 😄
🤣
😂
Engagement chicken? 👀💕
well he shouldn't be your boyfriend then...
I've made this so many times now and it always comes out delicious, I've changed up the pan sauce quite a bit each time and it's still such a great tasting recipe. Thank you!
I’ve been coming back to this about once every couple weeks when we have chicken breasts. This has become my standard go-to method! Always tastes great, is never dry, and the cast iron sear takes it to the next level. And one pan - bless 👏🏻
Lies again? Polite Home Delivery
@@NazriB I just made my chicken this way and it came out perfect! No lie!!!
I am retired and enjoyed a career which allowed me to experience fine dining in many of best locations. Chef Billy makes it possible for me to attempt cooking in that same style at home. He is the best at explaining techniques and recipes in everyday terms. I am no chef, but getting excited to try cooking like Chef Billy. Thank You!
I really appreciate you putting the steps and ingredients in the description! Too many times I've tried following along others videos only to realize I forgot to add something to my grocery list.
Just tried this recipe for the first time. Didn’t quite get the crust 100% and overcooked the chicken a bit, but my goodness was the pan sauce tasty. Definitely gonna keep practicing it.
This is the best quick and easy chicken recipe I’ve found. It’s become a staple in our home! Sooo delicious!!!
Great advise, thank you. I fry my chicken the same way but in a non stick pan. I am older and the iron pan is too heavy for me. I just brown the chicken as you did, on slightly higher than med. heat, then place a lid over it and turn the temperature to low, bake it this way for about 10-15 minutes, depending on chicken breast size. It's so nice and juicy and saves electricity.
That’ll work too!
Oh! That's a good idea. I have to make more than 2 breasts and my pan handle won't fit in the oven! Plus, we po'. We can only afford the non-natural huge chicken breasts! So I need a bigger pan! 🤣
I too have trouble with heavy pans. Rather than Le Creuset, try Emile Henry (baking dishes, Dutch ovens, pots, non-cookware items as well). Much lighter in weight, cook beautifully, and clean up is a dream!
I have followed your instructions for cooking chicken (on the stove top and then finish in the oven) twice in as many days and I'm ecstatic at the result. Thanks for the video!
Don’t know if it’s beginners luck or just an awesome recipe but this was really good
This was the best chicken I’ve ever made at home. That sauce was crazy good.
Made this tonight!! Absolutely perfect! I pounded my chicken a bit because I wanted it flatter but did everything else as prescribed!! The bomb!
Cooked this tonight, my wife and daughter gave it a 5 out of 5, makes me proud so thanks for the video
I like the fact that your instructions are not so rigid, you give me various options. Others make me feel so bad that I don't have a cast iron pan 😂😂😂.
I'm trying to do better about cooking more often. I made this for my wife and mom tonight. It was a hit! Thanks.
I made this. Instead of white wine for the sauce, I used red. It was one of the best sauces I’ve ever made. Outstanding recipe!
Thank you chef, tried it and it was restaurant quality for the first time ever. Definitely a keeper recipe
Fantastic!
@@ChefBillyParisi Yes Chef Billy. I tried it tonight, it was lit! Keeup up your in depth videos like this where you explain everything.
Definitely a delight to watch you chef! I feel inspired to try this.
You are such an excellent teacher! I am thankful I found your channel, and I can’t wait to try this recipe and check out more of your videos. 😊
I just cooked chicken breasts for me and my wife using this recipe. Came out beautifully. I used my fairly new Matfer Bourgeat carbon steel pan. Pan did a great job. Thank you for the recipe.
I made this the other day and it was INCREDIBLE! I offered some to my roommates and they couldn't believe how good it was.
Man that’s awesome
I literally never go back and comment on videos after I try the recipe but I can confirm this recipe is 100% full proof. I cooked about 8 breast for the week with this method and every single one of them came out fully cooked and juicy as ever.
this deserves a million views. underrated channel!
appreciate you!
I agree, the channel is super!)
So, we are trying to eat healthier here at our house, and we are doing a lot of meal prep. Now, we are also doing it for all four out of five of our kids (as the fifth is still a toddler). I’ve been cooking large batches of proteins, but this has totally changed the way I cook chicken! Super easy and tastes amazing!!! Thank you so much!! Subscribed!!
I appreciate how you give multiple options and keep it simple but tasty! Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for this. It was so fantastic and easy to do! They were so juicy! I appreciate this video for being beginner-friendly and packing the relevant information (oils and pans) to help us understand cooking more.
Literally the best cooking video I've seen. Not only did you explain everything and the actual reasoning behind it but also gave me confidence! Thanks!

I made this for dinner tonight and everyone loved it!! Thanks so much for the video!!
Must give credit where it’s do this Chicken recipe is absolutely amazing. I have literally made this Chicken for 2 different groups of people and my guests were blown away. I solute you thank you my friend 🙏🏼
This, hands down, is the best pan seared chicken recipe I have ever tasted. My husband and kids wants it again... we just had it for dinner about 10 mins ago. lol
Great recipe!! -So simple, so flavorful!!
This was great!! I’ve never been able to make chicken breast without almost choking on it. This was so good and so simple and it made the best new prepped chicken. The sauce was delicious! I would love a recipe with a creamier sauce for the chicken. But this was 10 out of 10. Thank you
Thanks for this video! Made it for Mother's Day, and it slapped! Tender, juicy, perfectly cooked. I did a cream/butter sauce to top it off. Everybody loved it.
Used this several times now and it hasn't failed! My wife loves it!
My man loved this chicken! I’m making it again and watching the video so it’s perfect again!!!!
Totally agree with you Chef Billy as soon as I watched your video I subscribed to your channel as this is exactly the way I cook chicken breast every time and I have never failed to have the most tastiest juicy chicken every time 👌 spot on. I am looking forward to try your sauce thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍👏👏
I used a cast -iron pan, olive oil, same size chicken breasts as the demonstration. Do EXACTLY what he says, start to finish, and it will come out perfect. I use the word perfect because there isn’t a better word. Absolute keeper.
This is an excellent tutorial.. I added finely chopped shitake mushrooms to this reduction as well and it was *heaven*. Thanks for the lesson. :)
Just made this for dinner and it turned out juicy and delicious, topped over pasta with cherry tomatoes and my husband and I loved it. I usually seem to overcook and dry out the meats, so all your tips were so helpful. On the top of that the chicken didn’t stick to my stainless steel pan for the first time in forever! Thank you!
Bravo! Just Wow!!! This is by far the best and most informative (not to mention easy to follow) tutorial on chicken breasts I’ve seen. I do not eat meat, but my husband does - and cooking meats is an odyssey for me. But not after watching this video! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to make it for my husband.
Thank you friend
This has to be one of the most informative cooking videos out there. Thank you for the knowledge sir.
Made this tonight, delicious! The jus adds some nice flavors too. Having some references for timing pan and in oven was nice, didn't have to change much for the recommended size of chicken breasts but I still temped the chicken while resting to be sure. It started resting at around 163-165F and then some carry over cooking.
Chef Billy, you are an awesome teacher! Thank you for all your expert cooking tips, tricks and recipes!
I made them. They turned out great. Thank you for the recipe!
Made this tonight for Ramadan and everyone was obsessed! Thanks for going all the explanations, subscribed!
Thank you for this video, I don’t cook chicken much anymore due to me not being able to cook it properly. I just tried this method and it came out great!!
Amazing recipe. Thank you! Very simple and straight to the point.
Thank you so kindly!!
First time my chicken breast actually taste good, thank you for the recipe. Will be watching more of your videos for sure.
Awesome
This guy is awesome. He teaches technique. Technique is everything.
You are just the bomb. Professional but personable, and easy at the same time. You rock! Thank you Billy.
This video motivated me to really start cooking. Loved watching it. Thank you!
2 hours later: YOU- scream crying at a "stupid" onion LOL J/K - go for it!
Did I burn my finger after taking the chicken out the oven- yes
But this was one of the best chicken meals I’ve cooked lol it was so good and simple
🤣
sweetheart the pan may have burned itself on you
@@duke3250 chill out
@@user-dt5db7yu5t this didnt go over nearly as well as i originally thought it would
Come cook for me
i literally just did this with cajun seasoning instead of salt and pepper. This video is legit! Cooked perfect, my man!
Made this tonight, and it was AMAZING!! So simple, yet delicious!!
Thank you so much for the delicious recipe. I tried it tonight and it turned out great even without the sauce
Fantastic
Dude , seriously you deserve waaay more views, i hope you go big soon , keep up men , great job
Thank you so kindly, I appreciate those words! I’m working on it!
I made this tonight. I shy away from chicken breast because most of the time mine comes out boring. This was just delicious, moist and full of flavor. Very easy and a great dish.
I tried it and it was so delicious. Best chicken breast I’ve ever done
I've always overcooked and or ruined pan fried chicken but you have such great reviews so I went ahead and gave it a try. EVERYONE LOVED IT! YAY I did it, thank you so much! Will be sharing this video with everyone I know! 💗
Good job Lolo I'll try this as well!
mine seem to always overcook on the outside and looks done but when going to cut it open its still chirping at me.
Culinary School 101...takes me back. It's always about the fundamentals. The only thing I'd suggest is add the wine off the flame. Great video! :)
Yes indeed
You made this so simple, and the chicken came out perfect. I’ve shared your video so many times. Thanks!
"After *exactly* 3 and half minutes.... to 4..."
That is not exact, sir lol.
I kid, I kid. Love this video!
whenever i hear this i do right in the middle i cooked mine for about 3:30 on the first side and it turned out perfect
@@eyeslikethesky1392 Lol I did the exact same thing, can confirm great results
I like the way you proceed the video
Looks so tasty!! I love this. Learned a lot
Thanks a lot 😊
I come back to this pretty frequently. Thank you!
Thanks so much Chef Billy. It's always been a bucket list item for me to make juicy chicken breast. My guests LOVED it
Thanks Man. Let’s see if I can pull it off 🤣
Love your style man, subscribed.
Appreciate that sir
Well made video, I'm impressed. I followed your instructions and it was the best chicken breast I've ever made by far 👌🏽
Tried it. Killed it! I am not a cook by any means. So I came to TH-cam tryin to find an easy but good fried chicken recipe. I found it here. I did not make the pan sauce due to lack of fresh ingredients however even using the seasonings this turned out amazing. Thanks for a great meal!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m trying to loose weight and my chicken always ends up being very dry, that has just made my health journey harder. I’m going to follow this way of cooking now and also thank you for the sauce recipe, it was really needed!
Perfection Chef! That pan sauce... oh my! 😋
All about those classic techniques my friend!
Chef Billy Parisi I’m so used to my Latin ways! Learning a lot from you!
@@BelquisTwist Nothing wrong with that, I'm sure I would learn a ton from you!
Chef Billy Parisi one day, can be far in the future but I’d love to cook with you.
@@BelquisTwist Agreed! Have to get Steve in on this too!
I don't cook at all. But tonight I thought I might try chicken. Everything went exactly the way it should and it was superb. Thank you! And I'm proud of being able to do it.
Made this for my dad and I, and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you
I’m drunk and watched this to cook the chicken I never ate in my fridge. SUBSCRIBED !!!!!
He said let it rest just as I scoffed it straight from the grill. 😂
This is literally the best chicken I have ever made, thank you so much!!!
Nice, thank you for the clear and comprehensive explanation! I always overcook my chicken breasts.
I cooked chicken for the first time today. I watched this video after I finished and was amazed I somehow did most of things right. I winged it but it would've been safer to watch a tutorial first. My chicken was a lil crispy on the outside but white, juicy, and tender under that crisp layer. I loooved it and so did my dad. I'll definitely try out that sauce you made next time.
Fantastic!
My heart sank the moment he used an oven as I only got a toaster
Try it!
@@bwbailey1982 I can't. My toaster only big enough for two pieces of bread
Sean damn! I made it tonight and man ole man. Hang in there buddy.
just turn down the heat after searing both sides and let it cook slowly, also baste the chicken with the oil in the pan
@@MonkeyDLuffy-vj6ib Ok thanks !
I just made this exactly how you instructed and I’m amazed at how delicious this chicken turned out! New subscriber, and please keep the videos coming!
Brilliant recipe. I look like a Gourmet chef, impressed my guest's. Easy to follow and well explained.
Hi Chef. Great recipe. I understand the purpose of resting the chicken, chop, steak, etc but my hubby complains that the meat is only warm and not hot. I tent with foil but it doesn't really help it stay that warm. Any suggestions? Thank you.😎🌵
Maybe resting too long, only a few minutes will do
That chicken looks almost too pretty to eat! I'm curious about that pan... can you link to it or share where you got it/who makes it? Thanks!
Sure -> www.debuyer.com/en/products/mineral-b-element-0
Thanks!
@@MelanieHallMI you got it!
also look at Lodge.com...Lodge makes great pans, also carried at Walmart
Thanks for this amazing instructional video.
Kudos for the technical tips!!!!
When we flip the breast over, do we cook it on that side for a few minutes also? Or just straight into the oven
Straight to the oven
Yeah lol I was thinking the same thing
Like I wasn’t sure if I should cook that side as well
I just finished making some bland ass chicken and rice. This is why I eat out everyday.
It looks like im in the clouds when i finish cooking
buy some salt. put it on your food.
Get some spices: aside from salt and pepper, also get some garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, smoked paprika, and cayenne to start with.
😂😂😂
Thank you SO much for this video. I’ve never felt confident in cooking chicken and feel excited to try now!
I like the way you make and narrate videos. Very “matter-of-factly.” You remind me of a nicer version of the chef I learned under
Pan searing needs an oven??? We don’t have ovens - flatten it to cook through ;) save some energy.
Let it rest on a plate so you can pour the resting juices back into the sauce
Great recipe Billy! 💕 Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely perfect chicken every time! I use this technique for chicken salad, tacos, any type of chicken. The best!
I never was comfortable making chicken and I made this tonight, it was perfect thank you.
The best video! I like not being told what pans and oils to use !
This absolutely turned out awesome! Thank you Chef!
Made them for thanksgiving and they were amazing!
Fantastic idea. Very easy to follow and informative. Making this for dinner and will post an update. Thank you Chef.
