    Thanks to everyone for the ideas. I think the olive oil, marinade and aluminum foil ideas are brilliant.
    I will definately try those. I'm not sure how long they were cooked. Hubby did it.
    And I will be trying thighs as that is my favorite.

    Could be they were overcooked. I cook my chicken breasts for 5 minutes. NO LONGER! Place on platter, cover tightly with foil and let set for another five minutes. They always come out juicy and delicious.

    Cook them directly out of the freezer. Don't thaw. Same goes with on a traditional grill. They'll be more moist and taste wonderful!

    Just a general rule about poultry, please make sure you're cooking it to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything below runs the risk of getting you sick. If you don't have one, invest in a meat thermometer. They come in handy!

    Try wrapping it in foil and then putting it in the grill. I cook mine for about 5 minutes if they're thin, 6 if they're thicker cut. Keep it wrapped in the foil and let it sit for about 2 minutes before eating it. I also like to put picante sauce or salsa mixed with reduced fat sour cream over them after cooking as my sauce. The foil helps make cleanup easier too!

    Love my Foreman Grill for steaks, but for chicken it has to be seared in a frying pan and finished in the oven. Too dry otherwise.

    I grill chicken for lunch/dinner at work roughly 4 times a week. Most of the breasts I buy are frozen, and each on is about 8 oz. I normally butterfly the breast and then throw it on the grill (this is after thawing it with cold running water for a few minutes). They always come out amazing! It doesn't take long to cook a chicken breast on a George Foreman grill...I have one of the smallest varieties, too.

    Back when I had my Foreman grill I never had a problem with them being too dry. I found it was a matter of finding the right length of time to cook that worked for my equipment. Marinating is a great idea to help too!
