Here is a list of chicken breast recipes from the Indian region, mostly made using boneless chicken. Chicken breast is a section that is entirely boneless and easy to eat.

Often we struggle to eat with the bone in, but it is not the case; using chicken breast is the healthiest part of the chicken, and boneless too.

Chicken breast dishes pair well with biryani and pulao or make a good chicken starter dish.

Add some veggies to the skewers before making the chicken tikka to make it yummier.
