Cooking Chicken for your band



Recommended Posts

The DW just cooked me some lovely juicy chicken that went down without any problems.

Basically she got some kitchen foil, and made what I can only describe as a little foil tent for the chicken to go into. She covered the chicken with foil making sure it was fully sealed inside, but left loads of room around it so it looks like the chicken was sitting inside its own little foil tent.

This then went into the oven for 20 minutes on a medium/high heat and it cooked in its own steam without any moisture escaping.

This kept all the juices inside and stopped it drying out. When served, it was nice and juicy and went down a treat (Still chew lots though !!!) without any problems.

I enjoyed it so much I wanted to share with you guys.

Thanks John! That sounds like something I would like to try; especially since it's nice and juicy. I'm always on the lookout for good and easy recipes. And, it seems like I eat a lot of chicken since being banded.

I've made chicken breast on the griddle with onions and peppers (using only the regular coating on the griddle). I've had probs with chicken but I did not have problems with this one. The griddle i have is part of my stove but I think any one you buy and put on top of a flame would work.

I sprinkle rosemary & paprika all over a whole chicken (some inside too). Place in a pyrex dish, cover with Saran Wrap, and cook for 30 minutes in your microwave. It tender, moist & delicious.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
