It means to filet the breast. Lay it on its side so that it fits in the palm of your hand, take a knife and from the thin side start to cut along until you get close to the center of it. Lift it and there is your split.What does it mean when a recipe calls for a chicken breast 'split'?
cutting them in half
cut it in half
A chicken breast that is cut in half down the middle.
You can generally buy them split. Just make sure that's what the package says!
1/2 of the breast
A full breast of chicken looks kind of like what you expect lungs to look like, two meaty teardrop (sort of) shaped areas connected in the center with a thin skin or piece of meat. A split breast is only one half of this full breast. Most packages of chicken breast are already split with bone in or boneless. If not just cut them in half at the thin area down the center.
When a recipe calls for a chicken breast split, that means you
take the whole chest or breasts %26amp; fold open till cartilage is exposed %26amp; almost split on back side. Then you have 2 breasts but they are still connected. Then generally you cook them skin side up. Myself, I always remove the skin.
