Diced Chicken Breast: Free-Range & Hand-Prepared
Free-range, slow-grown chicken breasts, hand-diced by our butchers for convenience and versatility in the kitchen.

Diced chicken breast is one of the most adaptable ingredients you can keep on hand. Perfect for Thai or Chinese-style stir-fries, a multitude of curries, a gently spiced tagine with green olives and preserved lemons, or sizzling fajitas laced with lime and coriander.

Lean, tender and quick to cook, diced chicken breast is ideal for flavourful midweek meals where good ingredients and simple cooking do the work.

For recipes that benefit from crisp, golden skin or larger pieces of meat, we also offer free-range chicken breasts, skin-on, perfect for pan-roasting, grilling or stuffing.

Chef Valentine Warner inspires:
"Keeping life easy and diced breast is brilliant for a creamy or no cream chicken pie. Things I like to add to the sauce are fresh tarragon, capers, leeks and smoked bacon lardons or maybe even a couple of quartered hard-boiled eggs. A touch of Dijon mustard in the sauce is a personal essential.

Alternatively, lay the diced chicken breast between two pieces of greaseproof paper and beat them out relatively flat; velveting the pieces of breast in this Chinese-style with corn starch, a little cooking wine and egg will guarantee a most wonderful tender result. Combine with say, a black bean sauce, a lemon sauce, a shiitake mushroom sauce or a dish with toasted cashew nuts and fresh red chillies.

If making any kind of quick braise and be sure not to overcook the chicken as breast does not have the same forgiveness for overcooking that the brown meat allows."
