What goes with Chicken Breast?
Chicken breast is a lean, finely fibred white muscle with a mild savoury flavour and little connective tissue compared with the leg. Its thick rounded end and tapered tip cook at different rates. Skin, when present, contributes a separate fatty and browned element and should not be confused with the juiciness of the underlying muscle.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Chicken Breast?
Use herbs, alliums and a fluid sauce to give definition without burying the mild meat. Tarragon has enough character to be used in small amounts; mustard is easier to balance when dispersed in mash or sauce. Earthy lentils and roasted cauliflower add interest through texture, while cured fat should be measured as a condiment.
