Can You Par Cook Chicken Breast?
Yes, you can par cook chicken breast. Par cooking involves partially cooking the chicken breast, so it’s not fully cooked, but the majority of the cooking process has been completed. This method can be useful if you want to save time in cooking or if you plan to finish cooking the chicken later. However, it’s important to ensure the chicken reaches a safe temperature of 165°F (74°C) before consuming to prevent food-borne illness.
