In order to meet the needs of world market it is necessary to enlarge quantity and improve quality of chicken meat. Positive effects of dietary supplementation of pronutritive materials – probiotics in chicken feed resulted in better feed conversion and faster body weight gain. The influences of probitics inclusion in feed and different cooking treatment on sensory attributes and cooking loss, as main quality characteristics of chicken breast meat, were investigated in this paper. The results showed that supplemented probiotics decrease cooking loss and effect formation of characteristic sensory attributes of thermally treated chicken meat. Sensory attributes of experimental group were assigned somewhat lower grades then control group, whereas combination of dry and water cooking- stewing, was used as the most appropriate method for processing chicken meat from trial group.
