Sheila -
I had been having a hard time with chicken too ...but I love it. Then, I remembered that I used to use buttermilk when I was making fried chicken to ensure a wonderfully moist, tender chicken. So, today I decided to marinate chicken tenderloins in buttermilk for about 3 hours. Once they had marinated, I used my meat mallot to "pound" it out to about 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap. Then, I seasoned 'em and put 'em in the skillet sprayed w/Pam. They were unbelievably tender. I could hardly chew each bite 20 times, because they almost melted. That said, they didn't have a weird texture. My husband thought they were fabulous too.
If you like chicken, you might give it a try.
