Marinated Chicken Breast

Available from the PRIME Butcher Counter at Arkadia Foodstore Gozo

Cut from the pectoral muscle, the chicken breast cut of meat is an excellent source of protein and it is lower in fat than most cuts of red meat. It is so versatile; you can cook it in numerous ways in different cuisines. Be it roasted, grilled, fried, or boiled.

Marinated chicken breast is a culinary delight, infusing the meat with bold flavours and tenderness. To make a marinade, you will need three essential ingredients: an acid, such as vinegar, wine, or a citrus, a type of oil and a flavouring agent, such as herbs or spices. The acid breaks down the proteins for the meat to absorb more flavour, the oil keeps the meat tender while cooking and the flavouring agent is an extra infusion of flavour.
