One food that home cooks often ask me for advice about is chicken breast.
My one chicken breast tip that makes a huge difference and takes almost no effort is the slash.

The first time I encountered this move was in a recipe fortandoori chicken.
My clients loved it.

How To Slash Chicken Breast
First, make your spice rub ormarinade.
Simply Recipes / Sally Vargas
Pat dry and trim your chicken breasts.
Place the breast skin-side up on a cutting board and press flat with your palm.
Using a sharp paring knife, cut slashes across the grain, about halfway through the meat.
Space them about three-quarters of an inch to an inch apart.
To crosshatch, turn the breast and cut perpendicular slashes, creating squares or diamonds.
Serve with a tasty sauce, drizzled in those browned, open slashes for extra flavor.
