Does chicken ever get "easy?"
When I was a child things like breadcrumbs/rice/oatmeal as filler was because my mom had to STRETCH a meal to feed several of us. I dont' use any filler in my meatloaves, just meat, onions, and whatnot and an egg or two to make it bind or whatever.
I haven't used filler in years...

yep, it makes a great meat loaf all ground up in the food processor. and i put a spoon of wheat bran in along with maybe 1/4 cup uncooked oatmeal as the filler. you could use oat bran if you don't do wheat. Tonight i made the same thing with ground beef. just gives a nice mooshy texture if you mix it in the cuisinart. easy too. sometimes a put a little spagetti sauce in it and on top instead of ketchup. Hubby adores the stuff. I make him a potato and some veggies for us both. idiot proof dinner for two days. diane

I don't have any problem eating 2 oz. of it. It's when I eat more that I sometimes get the heavy feeling. I definitely go for the dark meat. Or I get KFC and take the skin off (I don't like it for some reason, too greasy I think).

I don't have a problem with chicken at all. I prefer dark meat but I have chicken breast all the time too. The key for me is small bites and chewing well if it's breast meat. I think I just got that habit and do it without thinking from being banded.
I know what you mean though about not feeling right . Chicken doesn't do that, but there are
foods that I have eaten that feel like they are sitting in my sleeve sideways,
