chicken ideas

I use the foreman grill and several different mrs. dash flavors but it still comes out dry or just the outside is seasoned. Any ideas to save me from dry bland grilled chicken?

I like to marinate chicken in fat free Italian dressing before grilling it. Very yummy and super easy. Almost any kind of marinade should help keep it from being dry and season it throughout. Good luck! Laura 381/286/175

Try poking some holes in the meat of the chicken with a fork. That should help the marinade to get inside. That is what I do.

Use dark meat (thighs) instead of breasts. Much moister.

I've found that if I cut the chicken into small pieces it turns out not so dry. I actually buy chicken strips and freeze them in individually. I also slice it when it is semi frozen, much easier. then I fork the chicken, spice it up with whatever flavor i'm in the mood for, usually garlic salt with parsley by lawrys....but what i do it put the pieces back into the zip lock bag and sprinkle the season into the bag then mash the season and chicken together and let it marinate for a while in the frig. I cook it in a pan with a little pam. after it's cooked sometimes i will add a little alfredo sauce or teriyaki (just a dot on each piece). Very yummy!! Hugs, nora

Poking it with a fork & marinade are two of the best ideas... often after marinading it, I'll just dump the whole thing, chicken, marinade & all into a big fry pan or into a casserole dish & bake. Baking is often a good way to do it. Yes, the forman grill works great, you can by the pre-trimmed 99% fat free chicken breast or just cut it up yourself so there's no fat (ewe chicken fat is so nasty) and bake them with everything from a few drops of water, canned soups, marinades, etc. etc. & it tends to "seal" in the moisture. I hate dry chicken too- especially since I can't drink when I'm eating!
