Did you use 3 chicken breast fillets halved?

Well, I guess I shouldn't have said that I made it exactly as written as I only had two breast fillets. I should go change that, I guess. Thanks for pointing that out.

That makes 4 halved breast fillets. Almost a full recipe.
Doesn't look like enough marinate for 6 chicken breast halves, which equal 6 chicken breast fillets which equal 12 fillet halves.

Ohhh, well maybe that is why mine got so tender! I think those are the most tender chicken breasts I ever had.

Yum! Too bad we never have bourbon in the house.... only rum and vodka here. Guess it wouldn't hurt to keep a bottle around to just use for cooking. A lot of good sounding recipes have bourbon in them! Another pretty pic :)

I used to get those airplane size bottles when I wanted to cook up something that had bourbon in it. But, I finally broke down and bought a big bottle when it was on sale. You're right. There are a lot of recipes with bourbon in them around here! This is one of them! :-)

I get confused with the chicken breast.
I always think that a chicken has two whole breasts. But if you say "the breast of the chicken" then it's only one with half each being on either side of the breast bone. Then again perhaps it's actually "the breastS of the chicken" which would put it back to two whole total.
I don't think there's a universal rule on this as Iv'e seen it both ways.

Most do get confused over the terminology. Therefore the confusion in recipes.
Key word is FILLET. Two chicken breast fillets are both halves of the chicken breast, no bone and no skin. A chicken breast half is bone-in skin-on, before it is filleted. A chicken breast is both halves of the breast together, bone-in skin-on.
It can actually screw up a recipe pretty bad if the convention isn't followed.

When one cuts up a chicken, the hind quarters and the wings can be taken off individually but the breast has to be taken off whole, then separated into two fillets.

It's an impediment to recipes that won't be overcome easily.

I think of a chicken breast as what you refer to as one half, pos. One breast. I think that is what is meant by that term in most recipes, too. At least it seems that way when you look at the servings. I figure one breast per person. Not both sides - but one side being one breast.
At least that is how I figure it!
OK. I re-read that and its confusing! :-D I guess "check the serving size" is my point. :)

If the recipes just referred to B/S breasts as FILLETS 90% of the confusion will go away.

It's in the pantry. It's for cooking. :)
Way back in the back, hidden from the bible thumper.
Little does she know, that the best tasting meals she's remarked on have had the devil booze.

haha That's funny, pso. Reminds me of The Waltons episode where Grandma, the teetotaler, steals some "recipe" from Grandpa's hidden bottle and gives it to Olivia (the other teetotaler) for the cake she enters in the fair. She wins and no one can figure out what that unique flavor is!

So Points, are you saying that there are 4 fillets to a chicken? I thought all chicken breasts were boneless.

Flag
pointsevenout 10 years ago said:

Two breast fillets per chicken. Four breast fillet halves per chicken. Per definition FILLET is boneless/skinless. (Strictly defined, it is only boneless).
One chicken breast per chicken. That's bone-in skin-on. Two chicken breast halves per chicken. That's bone-in skin-on.
The best way to get your mind around this is to key on the word FILLET.
