    Thanks everyone! Maybe I'm stupid but what is "grilling" Does that mean to cook it in the barbque pit in the back yard?
    :huh:

    This sort of apparatus

    Gas?

    Wouldn't that be dangerous?

    In this situation, yes. Pretty sure charcoal would be too. They make precooked boneless skinless chicken tits. I would start in the freezer aisle. I feel that would be the safest option.

    I just made a great chicken recipe off of www.skinnytaste.com....chicken Parmesan without the butter, I used olive oil instead. I also made the baked chicken nuggets recipe. There are tons of recipes you can look up on this site.

    Love my George Foreman counter top grill. Quick and easy. You could also use the oven or even a crockpot *if* you want to cook your chicken in a broth or sauce - salsa chicken is tasty and easy - just throw in the chicken breasts and a jar of salsa. You can add corn, beans, tomatoes, cheese, etc if you want, but you don't have to if you want to keep it really low-cal. If the chicken is frozen, turn it up on high for about 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours. If the chicken is not frozen you don't have to cook it so long. Comes out juicy and delicious. Not exactly 'fast' in terms of cooking time, but very very easy and you'd have multiple servings when it's done.

    Slow cooker - takes all day but you don't have to baby sit it. Lots of ways to do it- some as simple as throwing the chicken breasts and salsa in and cooking on low for 6 hours or so... yum...

    Don't knock the great chicken boil! Throw in to the water a cubed white onion or 2, garlic cloves, carrots, celery and stalk to taste. Save the liquids. Cold chicken and veggies go excellent with a crisp dill pickle in the lunch box or reheated over ginourmous salads :) Winter time sick meal for both family and doggies, add rice to make a nice soup.

    I'd leave out the onion if you're making this and sharing with your dogs. Onion is poisonous for dogs and cats.

    Buy a whole roaster and bake it in the oven and pick at it for a couple of days.....I'd like to say that works, but I usually eat the whole thing in one evening.

    I put it in a crock pot while I'm at work. It's always juicy and ready when you get home!

    Yep, or you can buy a "grill" that you use inside the house. They have table top ones, and then just iron shaped sort of like a grill that you use on the stove top.

    Thanks! :)

    I agreed with Brined chicken in the oven. George Foreman is fast and easy but it dries the chicken out.A tip for the George foreman is I have little wooden blocks that I soak that I put in it so it doesn't sit directly on the top when I close the lid. That has helped greatly with the meat drying out. Such a shame to treat meat like that! Granted if you are in a hurry you most likely aren't being picky on how great the chicken was cooked.

    CROCK POT !!!! THE BEST - keeps the moisture in, slow cook, can add chicken broth soup, or any other -- I like to add cream of mushroom, cream of celery, cream of chicken -- I also made it mexican, just added one jar of salsa, easy, and just let it simmer !!

    Healthy Grilling: Avoid Those Carcinogens!
    By Talli van Sunder on May 23, 2009 in Articles, Nutrition

    This is alarmist nonsense. Yes anything browned can be considered (and is known to the state of California to be) carcinogenic because it contains traces of compounds that in mega-doses have been linked (no causality proved) to increased incidence of cancer in rats. There is no (literally none) evidence that there is any link between browned food, grilled or not, and cancer in humans.
