Prep at night is OK! Moist chicken breast steak even in the morning
Good evening, this is Oton's Kitchen🤗
I've tried making chicken breast steak, but—
👉 It gets tough
👉 It gets dry
Have you ever experienced this?😅
It's healthy and cheap, but if the result is mediocre, it's hard to keep making it.
Actually, this is—
👉 If you cook it wrong
👉 It will really be dry the next morning💦
But conversely,
👉 If you prep it properly
👉 It will turn out moist even in the morning
This time, I will introduce a chicken breast steak that you can enjoy even if you prep it at night😁

Chicken breast: 1 piece (approx. 300-350g)
Salt: 1/3 tsp
Black pepper: to taste
Sake: 2 tsp
Mayonnaise: 1 tsp
👉 Finishing
Butter: 10g
Lemon juice: 1 tsp

【Preparation】
1. Take the chicken breast out of the fridge and let it sit for a while

3. Even out the overall thickness

👉 Just by evening out the thickness
👉 It won't overcook
👉 It's less likely to get dry
The finish will be quite different✨
