Boneless chicken breast is lean, quick and takes on any flavour. Here is how to turn one pack into three different dinners.

1. Lemon pepper grill

Flatten the breast, rub with lemon juice, black pepper, salt and a little oil. Grill 5–6 minutes a side.

2. Ginger soy stir-fry

Slice thinly, toss with soy sauce and cornflour, and stir-fry on high heat with ginger, garlic, capsicum and spring onion.

3. Quick chicken curry

Brown cubes of breast, then simmer for 10 minutes in a masala of onion, tomato, ginger, garlic and your usual spices. Breast cooks fast — don't let it go longer or it dries out.
