Omaha Steaks Butcher's Cut Air-Chilled Chicken Breasts

Air-chilling is a process where chicken is cooled using cold air rather than being submerged in water, the method more commonly used in American poultry processing. This results in less water absorption, so the breasts retain more natural flavor and shrink less during cooking.

Omaha Steaks flash-freezes the chicken breasts immediately after butchering and ships them packed in dry ice inside insulated coolers. The packaging is designed to keep the product frozen during transit, typically arriving within one to two business days.

Omaha Steaks recommends thawing the breasts in the refrigerator overnight before grilling, baking, or pan-searing. Because they are flash-frozen at peak freshness, the company suggests cooking to an internal temperature of 165°F as measured with a meat thermometer.

Omaha Steaks positions these chicken breasts as a premium product, and their per-pound cost is generally higher than standard supermarket chicken. The company frequently offers bundle deals and promotions that can reduce the effective price per breast.
