    george has became my new best friend (foreman) i take it with me. under the seat in my work truck and i break it out at lunch time 1 get 1/2 hour lunch and can cook a breast in like 5 min. i get purdue trim tenders they cook the fastest. i also just got a microwave from home depot for 29 bucks and i leave that in my work truck as well. No more cold chicken and oatmeal. i guess i may be just a little obsessive huh

    Since your cooking your chicken in ounces (and I'm assuming you are not cooking in bulk), I believe "boiled" is faster. (Unless you own a kick ass steamer that are found in restaurants that take less than 2 mins to cook! If you do, I envy you bc/ I want one!

    It's all about the spices and what YOU prefer. See "healthy recipes" especially when you have more time bc/ there are tons of references and cool recipe's to read up on!

    I put my chicken in a deep skillet with a can of low sodium chicken broth and cover with a lid. It keeps it juicy!

    boil or steamed chicken is gross! I hate when I have to do that, I was lucky the last show I did I didn't have to do boiled chicken! woohoo!! I usually just cut it up in bite size chunks, put some pam in a skillet and cook it that way. You can also add seasoning if you like!

    I just usually cook my meat on the gas grill...I swear I think i'm the only one in my city who's grilling in 20 degree whether in January at 10-11 p.m.

    I have a foreman grill but dread cleaning that sob.

    the foreman is actually pretty easy to clean, for starters throw away that little crappy scraper thing it came with, what you do is right when you are done cooking, you place a soaked paper towel inside the grill then turn it off, go eat your food, come back and use a soft foam sponge to clean the ret out in the sink. Placing the wet paper towel in the grill steams all the junk making it quite easy to clean up

    I like boiled chicken. Boiling in some low-sodium chicken broth with bay leaves is good. Often I get lazy and just boil in water, though. I dunno. Plain old chicken breast tastes good to me.

    Peace.

    Spray a pan with pam or other no fat cooking spray
    Turn to high heat
    Add chicken (seasoned lightly or not, depending on if carbs are allowed)
    Sear chicken on both sides
    Turn heat down to med
    Add 1/4 inch chicken broth to pan

    Searing the chicken with the high heat seals the juices in, keeping it moist. Then using the chicken broth to finish cooking/steaming it... well... it's the juiciest, tastiest way ive found to cook chicken.

    I bought one of those Rice steamers and use it to steam chicken. I like it better than grilled chicken. It comes out nice and juicy. Mmm.

    Interesting. I always wondered how the chicken would come out if I threw it in my rice steamer. Maybe I'll give that a try. Do you par-boil it before staeming at all?

    I buy these breadcrum cans and bread my chickin. Its healthy too just take the raw chicken dip it into some egg whites then dip it into a bowl of the breadcrums. You can bread about 4-6 pieces of 4oz chicken tenders with half a cup of the breadcrumbs and its only 10carbs so it works for low carb diets.

    I boil mine too - baking takes 35-45 minutes while boiling/poaching takes about 15-20 depending on size of breast. Never tried the chicken broth thing though, I think I'll give it a try.

    My coworkers used to laugh at me when I brought in boiled chicken with nothing on it. They don't understand how it can possibly taste good.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

    Nope, I don't do anything to it before steaming. You just got to make sure your tray inside the steamer isn't sitting on any water, or else you're basically boiling it.

    I NEVER reheat my chciken, mayb efor 15 seconds to get the chill out, but Ialways eat my chicken cold

    Boiled keeps it juicy. My fave is to sear the hell out it in a PAM sprayed pan- but its rather dry, so some form of oil is required.
