Big juicy #chicken #breasts are lovely, but sometimes a recipe calls for less, or the meat is too big for the dish.
In that case, slicing the breast in half for a #butterfly effect is ideal. Here we illustrate how to achieve that lovely spread wing look in reverse so as to create a heart-shaped effect.
Make certain to wear protective equipment, as needed. This technique requires an even steady cut through the breast.

First video I've seen where somebody bothers to explain the correct side to cut in from. Well done.

[@DIYGourmet]

Thank you very kindly. I appreciate your saying so.

[@The1337Star]

This video was helpful and your voice is so soothing lol.

[@DIYGourmet]

Oh thank you! You flatter me. :)

[@angeliukasj]

But one side is thicker than the other xd

[@DIYGourmet]

You know, I almost wanna bs that it was supposed to be like that cuz something about how a sandwich is always getting pressed on one end.... But yeah, totally not a perfect run XD

[@napro1]

That’s when you get the hammer out and bash it a few times

[@DIYGourmet]

hey hey hey... they have a name in the kitchen. They're called "tenderizers" 😂🤣

[@j.r.1903]

good video. I always had problem cutting with the tenderloin attached and didnt want to remove it

[@DIYGourmet]

Thanks! Glad I can make a vid that's helpful.

[@Jamie_Rosex0]

You don't have to remove that white piece? I can't believe i never learned how to cook when I was younger 🥺

[@THEPinballJunkie]

Thanks! Great tip on blade placement.

[@DIYGourmet]

Glad it was helpful!

[@amandalh4384]

[@avitads]

Thanks mate

[@DIYGourmet]

Happy to help

[@stephaniehounsome927]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.. ARE THERE ANY NON LEFT HANDED VIDEOS 😂🤣😂🤣

[@DIYGourmet]

Challenge accepted. This will be fun. I'll be making videos again soon. Just finishing up a project until the fall. Any righty requests?

[@DontUBaDiva]

You could just flip the video. I could do it really easily with a screen capture. ❤️

[@SundayCookingRemix]

I didn't even notice My brother was a left handed QB and is a left handed guitar player

[@SundayCookingRemix]

​@@DIYGourmetdon't cut yourself

[@v-man7037]

I'm left handed and whenever I would cut up meat with my left hand my grandma used tofreak the (F) out saying "Don't cut yourself" 😂 I guess she wasn't used to seeing someone cut with their left hand

[@georgefortier2887]

If you turn the breast smooth side down it is easier to cut closer to equal thickness

[@jstump1972]

Knife suggestion?

[@DIYGourmet]

Pers pref is the 8-10" chef knife. Fillet or carving can work as well, but care must be taken to not mess up splitting the breast evenly while slicing.

[@jasonsalistean9192]

Pretty decent video idk why but for my manager in training program at my new job they make us slice down the middle than butterfly it on each side idk why this seems so much easier

[@DIYGourmet]

Might be faster... I don't prefer the middle method either though. This is much more presentable. Thanks for chiming in, and good luck on the training!

[@jasonsalistean9192]

I agree I prefer your method and this how I first learned, but my trainer said in all the restaurants he’s worked that his way is correct. Seems a bit ego fueled on his part, but I will try your method next time I train. Thanks for the video and comment.

[@xxxmaroxxx100]

I work in the food industry too. Slicing down the middle is safer. A lot of people hold the breast wrong and when they cut through they often hit their hands with the knife.

[@amsdetailing]

You made that look way easier that it is. I had three breasts, messed up all of them…

[@DIYGourmet]

Sorry to hear that you're having troubles. Anything I can better help explain?

[@guoytt]

my chicken is like double size of yours

[@DIYGourmet]

That's a big bird, then.

[@zackhudson2551]

Sounds like Ricky from tpb a lil bit

[@DIYGourmet]

and for that, I will make a friends with eggs Benedict somewhere along the line. XD

[@DIYGourmet]

Trailer Park Boys, the Canadian show. :)

[@87911]

Right side more thicker

[@DIYGourmet]

And such is the art of aspiration.

[@youxkio]

You forgot to slap it at the end....that chicken....

[@DIYGourmet]

🤣🤣

[@gerhitchman]

haha one side totally bigger than the other

[@DIYGourmet]

lol, yeah... it's on my list of reshoots.

[@mrsvictor9914]

Yeah the fat ones are harder# lol

[@DIYGourmet]

They can certainly be tricky. For me, the worst are those that are too thin. There isn't much to cut. Thanks for watching!

[@mrsvictor9914]

@@DIYGourmet most definitely

[@rolandneira8405]

there is really NO information

[@DIYGourmet]

The video is about how to slice it. Were you looking for help on how to cook it?

[@DIYGourmet]

I'll make that video soon, so that it compliments the slicing video. It's about 3-4 minutes on each side with a medium to slightly higher flame. Using a cover on the saute pan helps to keep a bit more moisture in while it cooks. When it finishes, give it a minute or two for the flesh to rest before enjoying it.

[@Jerry-yn6nk]

Actually there is quite a bit of information. Showed exactly what I was looking for and exactly what the title suggests.
