Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the ultimate healthy, quick convenience food. They are lean, cook up in minutes and are endlessly versatile. In these four recipes we use them shredded in a Chinese chicken salad; diced and stir-fried with vegetables; grilled with Indian spices; and sautéed and served with an apricot sauce.

Breast Reduction: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts range in size from about 5 ounces to over 12 ounces each. For recipes calling for one 4-ounce breast per person, look for 5-ounce breasts and remove the “tender”—the thin strip of meat from the underside (about 1 ounce of meat)—before using. Wrap and freeze the tenders; when you have enough, use them in a stir-fry or for oven-baked chicken fingers. If you cannot find 5-ounce chicken breasts, use 8-ounce breasts and cut them in half crosswise.
