Chicken

[Guest guest]

Although I have not had the surgery yet. I do have a way of cooking chicken

to keep it moist. Maybe this will work for you too. I generally marinade

my chicken in one of the Lawry marinade sauces overnight. As Janet said

these are really good, low or no fat, no or low carb. Prior to marinating I

will lightly rub light virgin olive oil on it. I will season it with fresh

ground black pepper and a little fresh ground (sea) salt. I put it in a

ziploc bag overnight. When I get ready to cook it. I put it in tin foil

but I don't fold the foil all the way. I seal it on top but leave some room

between the chicken and the top of the folded foil the I fold in the sides.

That pocket of air steams the chicken. After about a half hour the chicken

is cooked but I will take it out of the foil and for about 5 minutes,

lightly brown the outside either in a pan or on a grill. The chicken is

really tender and juicy. It has a nice taste from the marinade. Sometimes

I will cut up a fresh lime and add some vegetables. It really works

steaming everything together and gives the chicken a great taste. You are

welcomed to try it.

Re: Re: Why can't chicken be my

friend???!!!

i know, can you work with me here? breast meat is very dry and i have

gotten

sick twice on it. but i have noticed if i put fat free chicken gravy on it

or light ranch dressing to dip it into, it is fine. just need something to

make it moist that's all. i thought to myself, geez, am i never going to

eat

chicken again. that's quite inconvenient since protein is my main goal

every

day. but it's all just trial and error everyone. i've had a drumstick and

that

was fine. so try, try again my friends.
