well im starting a new diet and fitness programme which has a lot of chicken breast oriented meals in it......is the george foreman good for grilling them or do you lose vital things like protein aswell as the fat???? i already have one and i can get a lot of frozen chicken breasts so any advice wud help?
 
Get a stockpot and fill it with a generous amount of water (you can adjust this depending on how many breasts you're boiling).
Bring it to a boil.
Add chicken breasts.
Check for doneness after 12 or so minutes. (I'd suggest investing in a pair of tongs for that. Using the tongs, take one of the larger breasts out and cut it open with a knife - if it's still pink you know that you have keep boiling 'em. If it's all white, you can take it and all smaller breasts out, then check one of the breasts that left. Repeat as necessary til all breasts are out of the water.) Depending on the amount of chicken you put into the pot it may take the water a little longer to resume boiling.

I boil a lot because I use them for chicken salad, sandwiches and other meals throughout the week. (Especially when pressed for time and I want something healthy). When done correctly the insides will be moist and tender, with a wonderful taste to them. I typically combine this with brown rice cooked in nonfat chicken broth and blanched veggies for a healthy meal.

I recomend marinating the chicken before you put in the forman. I find that the forman tends to make chicken a little dry.

That being said the forman is probably the fastest and easiest way to make a good hot meal. :cool: ;)

Smilies. Heh.

Amen. You can save some serious flavor by doing this. I mostly bake my chicken but in a hurry it handles well. I am a slave to flavor though.
 
I know this is a fitness forum and not a recipe one but.......Got any decent marinating recipes?

I'm not great in the kitchen but have just bought a GF grill and did find the chicken a bit dry. so any advice would be good.

Thanks

There are tons of healthy marinade. In general its just alot of spices and water or broths.

Here is a big list of marinades and links to how they work.

I cook practically everything on the foreman grill. I like to use a lot of spices to give the chicken some flavor.

I just buy the chicken breasts in bulk at bjs or sams club, then keep some in the freezer so they don't go bad.
 
The george foreman is the greatest grill ever. You can make anything you want, Id go as far as saying you could bake a cake with a George Foreman.
 
I was talking to my manager at work, and he told me eating Boneless chicken breasts and salids are the best way to lose weight.. Like i said in a post a few months back i work night shift and hardly eat.. Would grilling up a chicken breast or two and having a salid be good for me??
