To cook, you can pan-fry them over medium-high heat until golden brown and cooked through, usually about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Alternatively, bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). They can also be cubed and added to stir-fries or curries, or marinated and grilled.

Keep any unused chicken breast fillets refrigerated in their original packaging or in an airtight container. It is best to use them within 2-3 days of opening the package. For longer storage, they can be frozen.
