chicken (i can't cook chicken good. how to i keep it juicy, but cook it well?)

here's what i know i'm keeping out:
pork (not crazy about it)
lamb (can't cook it well, and it's got lots of fat. it's also pricey and lacks tons of protein)
most kinds of fish (not crazy about fish unless them b1tches is rAw) i could eat tons of raw salmon, but it's pricey and has lots of fat.
i eat peanut butter as a treat (it's got lots of fat)
Easiest way that I've found to keep chicken breasts moist is by using a steamer or a pressure cooker. Also, Sfla recently started a thread in the lounge that is full of good recipes. One of them mentioned marinating your chicken in wine and lime juice. We went redneck and used muscadine wine and lime juice and soaked it for about 8 hours. Worked really well. Have also used scuppernong wine and lime juice and it worked very well. I think the acid in the lime juice starts breaking the chicken down somewhat because it comes out very moist and tender.
I need to get a new O-ring for the pressure cooker we use for canning veggies, so I got lazy ang grabbed one of the Wolfgang Puck pressure steamer doohickeys off of Amazon and it has done a surprisingly good job. Also, we have a 5 tier steamer that makes it super easy to steam chicken or beef along with the veggies.
Another one I like is canned salmon scrambled in with my egg whites.

There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
