Do most people sear a boneless, skinless breast? Is that a good technique? What does it add and does it nor dry out the chicken?

Not being critical, just curious.

Apparently it has never been done before except around the 55 gallon drums with fires in them keeping the homeless people warm in the wintertime. Certainly not in a kitchen.

Honest answer It certainly doesn't dry it out. The chicken itself was very moist.

I would think searing anything would add flavor to the meat and also produce a good base (to deglaze?) for the sauce that he eventually made to drizzle over the finished plate. It would only dry it out if you cooked it too long, that is why he finished in the oven, IMHO.

I am not a chef though.

Breasts get a bad rap on here (unlike the OT).I think if the cook is worth a shite, breasts can be prepared just fine.

I like a chicken breast, preferably bone in skin on, but have had great boneless skinless as well. Just seems like searing a skinless breast would create an undesirable, George Foreman grill type outer layer on the meat.

It doesn't. It does add a different flavor though. And it definitely adds to the pan when the sauce or gravy is made as mentioned a couple posts back.

You can buy laxative relatively cheaply if all you are trying to do is make the cheapest turd you can.

The garlic is dehydrated, then rehydrated in the jar when it is canned.

Is this true for the whole peeled garlic in jars?
I don't think I've ever seen whole cloves of garlic in canned jars. I usually use the whole peeled cloves from the produce section. They last a pretty long time in the fridge and give true garlic flavor. They may have something added to help maintain freshness, but the taste is true.
