Question about cooking chicken... - Weight Loss Message Board

Whenever I cook chicken in a frying pan, it gets dried out - what am I doing wrong? Last night, I made this yummy dish that has cut up chicken breasts, pasta, several kinds of peppers, black olives and tomato sauce. It's a delicious dish (although not the best for my diet b/c of the pasta!), but would have been even better if the chicken was juicy.

I've tried cooking it slower by using a lower temperature, but that didn't do the trick. When I bake chicken, it's nice & juicy, but not when I cook it on the stove. I eat lots of chicken when I'm trying to lose weight, and it would really taste better if it was nice & juicy, even when I cook it on the stove. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Houdini,

What do you cook the chicken in? I put mine in a frying pan, but I still kind of 'boil' it, I add wate, but I don't cover it...and then I drain the water and fry it in Pam to brown it up.

Other than that I always try and grill it unless it's snowing or raining, lol.

Ok, I don't cover it completely with the water, but I do cover the pan with the lid.

Ever tried doing it in the Crock Pot? I put mine in in the morning and when I come home, it is to tender and juicy- falls right off the bone.
Good Luck!
