cant eat chicken breast

[BKMama 179]

The Crockpot is your friend. I can only eat chicken breast out of a crockpot because it's super moist. Otherwise, it has to be pretty much drenched in a sauce of some kind. My favorite crock pot recipe is breasts, some EVOO, and a packet of Italian dressing mix (or just use regular italian dressing). You can also make salsa chicken with salsa and chicken. Lots of things you can do in the crockpot with chicken and it comes out super moist!

That said, I still can only eat 2-3 oz. But I expect that to be my serving and am fine with that.

Hey all 6months out down 109lb,thrilled to say the least. I can pretty much eat anything BUT there are 2 foods that floor me. First is grilled chicken or shnitzel, one bite and i feel as if i ate a 3 course meal. I domt get it i can eat a whole chicken qaurter w bone but not breasts, go figure.

I had my surgery 12/19/15 and I still cannot eat no kind of chicken. I have tried fried, baked cooked in with Soup and as soon as the chicken hits my stomach, I have to run to the bathroom to vomit.

It's all in the technique. I poke 2 forkfuls into each chicken breast, then, I put them into gallon zip locks and pour Italian dressing or lemon pepper marinade. Let them refrigerate for 1-2 days. You can bake, grill or cook them on the stove. Very juicy and yummy!

After i take a knife and chop it up. Bite size pieces. Put it on salad make chicken salad whatever.

With what's left Ill make about 6 baggies for the week to eat for meals and Snacks.

Take it slow. Eat a few bites then walk away. It takes me about 30min-1hr to eat 1 breast. Which is why i take them to work and eat them right out the bags.

I had the same issue and started boiling the chicken breast, then shredding it and adding Greek yogurt, a few grapes, and celery seed for a chicken salad. It's delicious and is much easier to go down.

I grill boneless chicken breast every week and enjoy it as a basic staple in my post op living.

I vary the flavor by using different rubs.

I agree that it can be dry if overcooked......and unsafe if undercooked. The key is to remove it from the grill at the correct internal temp. I've found that 160 degrees is this temp...as far as I'm concerned.

If cooked properly.....it's one of the most sleeve-friendly foods I've encountered.
