Why not olive oil and garlic?
I had some chicken at Whole Foods today and theirs is so soft and flaky YUM! Mine is always harder and kind of chewy. I cook it in a pan. Is that because they add fat to it?
Is there a way I can make it not so hard and chewy without adding fat to it? All I have to use is a cooking pan or a pot (no oven or grill).
Thanks![]()

Why not olive oil and garlic?
For the meals I shouldn't add fats. (the ones I take fish oil with)
pam cooking spray?
or
lighty coat a pan with some olive oil. place the chicken in it. add a small amount of water to cover the bottom of the pan. then begin cooking. after a few minutes. dump the water out in the sink, place the pan back on the burner, lower the flame and cover it.

Want soft and easy made chicken? Here is what I do:
I grab a bag of frozen tenderloins from Costco. I throw the entire bag into a crockpot and set it on low. I also throw in two jars of Jalapeno and Lime Salsa that I grabbed from Trader Joe's. Let it cook for a day, stirring around 3 or 4 times throughout the day. Next morning take the chicken out and put it in containers for the week. Now you have a bunch of almost overly moist chicken with a hint of jalapeno and lime. Mix with whatever you want to. It is one of the easiest ways to cook chicken, IMO.

cook in microwave for 4 to 5 mins. wrapped in a wet paper towel. Mine is always nice an juicy.


I've never really paid attention to the cooked food at Whole Foods. but I know it makes a huge difference when cooking broiling chicken breasts when the skin is still on while cooking. I usually get some chicken breasts with the skin and cook them when I need a little something tastier to eat.Originally Posted by Katia7
