this is for people like me out there who eat a sh!t load of grilled chicken breast and find it hard to down.

today when i was doing my weekly cook-up, i decided to throw some chicken on a fry pan with some evoo instead of the usual george foreman, and oh my god! it tasted absolutely brilliant!
after placing the chicken into the pan for about 30 seconds or so, put a table spoon or two of water in the pan and close the lid so the chicken sears. after a couple minutes, turn chicken and add some more evoo (if needed) and add more water and close lid.

a lot of people may already cook their chicken like this, but for people like me who had always been grilling their chicken, this is something special!

how long do you cook your chicken? say for example, a skinless chicken breast without the rib meat.....

Good suggestion. Give this a try sometime. Take chicken breast , sprinkle with "no salt" seasoning (i use a brand called FreshFind), black pepper and a little garlic powder. Do both sides and let sit for say 10 mins (if u arent too concerned with sodium you can also use a litlle salt). After than put in container and add tablespoon of evoo flip until breast is well coated. Let sit for 20 mins or so then cook. You can forman grill , outdoor grill (the best imo) or pan fry. Its absolutely amazing.

Was getting really sick of grilled chicken for a while and started doing this, except I was dredging in a flour/salt/white pepper mixture before pan frying in EVOO. Yea, I know - a very unnecessary step - but the hard crust the flour mixture formed was tasty as hell!

really depends on the thickness of the breast. i personally slice the breasts in half, this way they only need 2-3 minutes each side. make sure you add a little water to the pan and close the lid after you place in the chicken. this will sear the chicken and make sure the insides are cooked

to be honest, i don't think i will ever use my george foreman ever again for chicken breast. all the juices of the chicken gets leaked away into the drip pan

^^ I agree. Used to have one and now it sits on the top shelf for this exact reason.

Thanks....only 2-3 minutes? amazing.....I was thinking for a lot longer.

that's 2-3 minutes each side. with chicken you really need to make sure you don't overcook it or else it goes very dry, especially if you cook for the next few days and store it in the fridge. as long as it's white inside, not pink (raw), then it's good to go. putting water in the pan (searing) creates steam and helps cook the insides so it's not crispy on the outside and raw on the inside. this is how they cook seared chicken at mcdonalds, well over here in australia anyway

I used a george forman for a while and always thought it was amazing. Decided to try cooking it in a pan and realized i had been eating dry plain chicken for years. Then chose to stick the boneless skinless chicken breast with light cayenne pepper in the oven at 450 and this was my absolute winner. I always bake it now. I try different seasoning and occasional EVOO. Light bread crumbs can be nice too
