Free Range Chicken Fillets, 500g

Free Range Chicken Fillets are 500g of free-range chicken fillets – skinless, boneless breast meat from birds raised with access to outdoor range. Free-range chicken fillets have a texture and flavour that standard supermarket breast cannot match. As a result, the slower growth of free-range birds produces a firmer, more flavourful muscle. It suits quick-cook preparations and marinating equally well. Furthermore, at 500g this is a versatile quantity for weeknight cooking, meal prep and batch cooking. In particular, the even thickness of a well-trimmed fillet suits butterflying for an even faster result.

About Free Range Chicken Fillets

We source our poultry from carefully selected farms and producers in Britain and France. In particular, we choose every bird for its breed, welfare standard and flavour. As a result, the poultry we deliver ranges from outstanding free-range British chicken. We also stock the most celebrated table birds in the world. Furthermore, breed, diet and time to maturity define poultry quality above all else. However, most supermarket chickens reach slaughter in just 35 days on a high-protein diet. In particular, our free-range birds take considerably longer to reach maturity – and the difference in flavour is immediately apparent. Additionally, French Label Rouge certification and AOP status guarantee standards of breed, feed and rearing that no supermarket bird approaches. That commitment to genuine quality is what drives every sourcing decision we make. That is why Free Range Chicken Fillets from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Free Range Chicken Fillets From Us

Cooking well-sourced poultry requires less intervention than most cooks apply. In contrast to intensively reared chicken, these birds have genuine flavour that simple cooking reveals rather than disguises. As a result, a good free-range chicken roasted with nothing but butter, salt and a lemon inside is one of the finest things a kitchen can produce. Furthermore, resting a roasted bird is as important as the cooking itself. However, different cuts demand different approaches. In particular, thighs and legs benefit from longer cooking and suit braising, slow-roasting and grilling over charcoal. Moreover, the breast cooks more quickly and dries out if overcooked. Additionally, the finest French birds like Poulet de Bresse deserve restraint. Their extraordinary flavour needs no enhancement beyond butter and seasoning. That restraint is the mark of a cook who understands the ingredient.

How to Cook Free Range Chicken Fillets

• Additionally, poach gently in stock with aromatics for the most tender result and an outstanding stock base.

Perfect Pairings

Free Range Chicken Fillets pairs beautifully with:

• Lemon, garlic and herbs for a simple Mediterranean marinade
