I am cooking chicken, and I am not very experienced. The recipe says to "brown chicken breast in pan, meat side down." What does it mean, "Meat side down?" A little confused. Thanks for the help!
 
It means the side without the skin. If they are skinless it is the side that didn't have the skin on.
