What's the best way to reheat chicken breasts/burgers without drying them out on P2?

Dreamchaser · 06-01-2011, 08:55 PM

And also without using the microwave, just the stovetop or the oven. Any ideas?

I just eat them cold dipped in Frank's and Gulden's mustard.
However, a small fry pan on low with a smidge of water should work okay.

How ya doin'???

Marie - Yeah, oil would be REAL nice too!

Thanks catkin - Doing my very best to go by the book! Even bought the yucky oil free beauty stuff for my very dry skin.

I boil my chicken breasts and then cube them and store them in the same water. I find that way the taste doesn't change after being refrigerated. So I reheat mine in the microwave in the same bowl of water I store them in. I guess you could do it on the stovetop with a lid on the pot.

Thanks Donna. That sounds like a great idea and I will definitely try that way if I boil them! But right now, I'm grilling them on my indoor grill so that wouldn't work. I tried to put "grilled" in my title question but it wouldn't fit

Top with a little salsa and heat in microwave.

Wrap the meat in foil tightly, sealed well, then pop it into a saucepan with about 1/2" boiling water to heat it without losing moisture

Make sure you don't overcook it before you store it. That way when you heat it, it doesn't dry it out.

Good tip

I measure and portion out my chicken raw and freeze it in those portions. I cook it fresh every time because it really only takes about 5 mins in warm water to defrost such a small portion.

That sounds wonderful. I would much rather have it fresh all of the time. I didn't realize it would be so easy to defrost. Thanks shelby!

I use to work in restraunts the cooks would take a leaf of Iceberg lettuce put it on the hot grill ( you could use teflon skillet)
they would put cinnimon rolls on the lettuce cover with a lid to steam them hot.

Now if it is delecate enough for a C. rol, lt should work to reheat burger or chick breast.

Personaly I am with the idea fresh everytime is better.....

MMMM C. roll sounds pretty good too, excuse me I was dreaming out loud

I found that I went through a lot of organic chicken broth - used it to saute veggies, as well as re-head/cook chicken. Anything wet that was allowed.....

Red - What brand of organic chicken broth are you using? The only organic kinds that I can find have sugar added to them.

RedsSkinnyJeans · 06-07-2011, 04:21 AM

Just went to look. Pacific Free Range Chicken Broth. HOLY COW!!!! It does have "cane sweetener"!! But now I also see it shows 1 gram of sugar per 1 cup of broth. Still...I was surprised!

mymy3377 · 06-07-2011, 04:48 AM

The Imagine Free Range Organic Chicken Broth has no sugar but I believe their low-sodium one does so be sure to read the ingredients because the boxes are pretty similar.

shelbyla · 06-07-2011, 01:27 PM

Also the both the Costco brands, organic and regular have no sugar. If you have Ralph's near you (I think it's Kroger in the Midwest) they have their store brand "Private Selection" that has no sugar. FWIW
