Skinless breasts are marketed as the 'healthy' option and the lack of skin needs to be compensated for during cooking - either by cooking the breasts in liquid, wrapping them in something whose fat will baste the meat, such as Parma ham, or coating them with a sauce. Alternatively cut into strips or cubes and stir-fry, or drop into a simmering broth and poach for a few minutes. When roasting, it's best to keep the skin on to prevent the meat from drying out.
