lazy me, i always bake my chicken breast with nothing added. sometimes i see tons of water after baking and this last batch i saw almost NONE. didn't think anything of it.
then i ate it. omg stringy rubber deluxe. usually i could just break the breast apart wiith a spoon but this one was VERY resilient. had to use tons of force to just break the fibers to get a small chunk to eat (knife = another thing to wash and another hand to use, fk it)
i think i had 2.7-3.0lb from the package of raw chicken breast.
after eating all of it, it was about 1200g weighed after cooking. 1200/454= 2.64lb
seems like this was almost all breast low water, mostly meat. bang for buck.
now question is why does breast vary so much in water content? do companies inject them with water?
has anyone else experienced this> interesting observation imo
