Just buy skinless, boneless chicken breast.

[StoneGRMI]

I usually buy skinless/boneless but if I'm buying fresh I'll buy it with the skin then take off the skin after cooking as you said. leaving the skin on while cooking will lock in some moisture and make the chicken more enjoyable to eat w/o changing fat content.

[Narkissos]

Cooking with the skin on retains moisture.

I cook my breasts (@"I cook my breasts") with the skin on when i'm baking 'em.

If i'm stewing 'em however, I cook 'em in tomato sauce.. So keeping the skin on isn't necessary.

Tomato sauce keeps all the moisture in...so it's a moot point to keep the skin on when stewing.

right on the dot. baking it with the skin definetly locks some moisture and make is soft and tasty the one without skin makes it dry after 30 mins.

do you put some oil while stewing it??

Naw.. No need.

Tomato Sauce adds and keeps in all the moisture anyone would want.

Just don't let the heat go too high while cooking.

That's the bane to keeping moisture in.

Too hot too fast = dry meat.

^ word

If you use a sauce to cook your chicken in it should only come up to a light bubble then simmer! Otherwise you would be boiling your meat therefore drawing all the moisture out.

How does that end up tasting after cooking in tomato sauce? Do you add anything else after that?

If you cook it slow enough and with some spices it tastes like chicken in some homemade pasta sauce. I add onion, green peppers, garlic, salt, pepper and oregano to it. It's $$$!

That's like asking if i use soap when i shower

I like to cook.

What else I add depends on what mood i'm in...and what flavour I'm trying to achieve.

Sometimes I go spicy: curry poweder, a small amount of garlic, pepper.

Sometimes I go sweet: honey (or brown sugar... or a sweetener if i'm cutting), onion & onion powder, garlic, celery.

Sometimes I go tart: orange marmalade; pepper

Sometimes I dump a shitload of garlic and cilentro in.

etc. etc.

It depends.
