What Our Customers Think
Fillets That Never Wing It on Quality!
Butcher’s tip! For extra juicy chicken breast, start by brining it in saltwater for 30 minutes, or marinate it with a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and fresh herbs. This helps the meat stay tender and infuses it with extra flavour. Want more information on chicken breasts? See our dedicated chicken cuts guide!

Below, you’ll find cooking advice and recommendations on how to use and store our chicken breasts. For information about ordering, delivery and more about our products, please see our dedicated FAQs page.
A typical skinless, boneless chicken breast (around 170g or 6oz when raw) contains approximately 30–35g of high-quality protein once cooked. It’s a lean source of protein with minimal fat, making it ideal for muscle recovery, weight management, and low-fat diets. Exact values can vary slightly depending on cooking method and size. Chicken breast is widely regarded as one of the best protein-rich meats available.
The best way to cook chicken breast without drying it out is to use moderate heat and avoid overcooking. Baking, pan-searing, grilling, or poaching are all effective methods—just aim for an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). Marinating beforehand or using a meat thermometer can help retain moisture and flavour. Letting the meat rest for a few minutes after cooking also keeps it juicy.
Chicken breasts typically take around 16–20 minutes to cook in an air fryer at 180°C (360°F), depending on their size and thickness. Flip halfway through for even cooking, and always check that the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Lightly coating the chicken with oil or marinade can enhance browning and flavour. For consistent results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
Raw chicken breasts should be stored in the coldest part of the fridge and used within 1–2 days of purchase. Keep them in their original packaging or place them in an airtight container to avoid cross-contamination. If you’re not planning to cook them within that timeframe, freezing is a safer option. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as a sour smell or slimy texture.
Yes, chicken breasts freeze very well and can be stored for up to 9 months at -18°C or lower. It’s best to freeze them individually or in portions, using airtight freezer bags or containers to prevent freezer burn. Label each portion with the date to keep track of freshness. Defrost in the fridge overnight and cook thoroughly before eating.
