i guess for scallopini or whatever you take the skin off but i so rarely eat chicken filet

because I don't want to turn on the oven - it's hot as hades here already
I can cook the filets quickly and easily on the stove on a grill pan

and by filet I mean just take the breast off the bone, I don't mean like paper thin slices or anything crazy like that

if you grill pan w/ skin side down the juices will trap between the crisping skin and the meat, be sure to cover with a heavy lid to keep the juices steaming the chicken

you can kinda brown w/o cooking the inside with the skin down too

Ive gone right off skinless breast meat for anything, in the old days I'd pan fry those fuckers and always wonder whyfore chewy. Now I do whole roasts, and if its stir fry or curry, thigh meat all the way. Im not a dark meat fan in the "eat the meat off the bones" sense when it comes to the whole bird. But thigh meat is best in stew situs. All that fat.
Breasts are good poached but I'm still working that one out.

Just slip a breast into water or stock (usually stock) with maybe some slivers of garlic and a bay leaf, then simmer gently for maybe 5 mins then let it sit covered in the liquid with the heat off, for another 10? Im never sure how long, i seeem to still overdo it and it goes tough.
