The Secret To Eating Chicken Everyday

February 5, 2010

I eat chicken almost every day. Often twice a day. The truth is, I barely even put any seasoning on it.

I will either put a bit of seasoning salt on it, or lemon and pepper. I’ll admit after months and months, it’s not to die for delicious(!), but it’s quick, easy, and I don’t have to choke it down (so it must be okay! lol).

The truth is, I used to get so sick of chicken. I would always over cook it. If it seemed a bit pink or ‘too’ juicy, I would put it back on, often dry it out and over cook it. Then I end up chewing it for what seems like forever, and have a hard time swallowing it. Then I cringe at the fact that I have about five more chicken breasts to eat over the next day or two. I’ve always had the fear of under cooking it, and getting salmonella… which is a little more rare then what it’s made out to be.

90% of the time, I cook on my gas grill. Even in -20 degrees, I’ll start it up and grill. I got natural gas hooked up so I never have to worry about running out of propane! On the rare occassions it’s really cold, I will use my Foreman grill, which is great, but a pain to clean.

But in my opinion, the key to having chicken you can eat all the time, is cooking to the right temperature.

Thermometer

Wireless Thermometer

I received a wireless thermometer for Christmas one year, and it was one of the best presents I’ve ever received. It was like night and day once I started using it. The chicken is always juicy, and I know it’s fully cooked. The best part is, you don’t have to keep going outside, you can stay warm inside and keep track of it on the monitor.

Amazon.com has several ones you can order online. Or you can go to your local Home Depot, or something similar.

Just wanted to share this quick tip. It’s a great investment, and very affordable. I’m working on my workout routine which I will post up Sunday/Monday.

Thanks for the emails so far!
