Not sure about the benefits of boiling. Some may say they retain more nutrients I guess. I think as long as something's not overcooked, your fine. Go for taste. I like chillin' and grillin'! -------------- Days go by and life drags on.....

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2006/08/25, 07:23 AM drink water to shed water. your body produces anti-diuretoc hormone in response to not enough water being taken in. Stress also can cause the release of the anti-diuretic hormone. Are you trying to drop water for a show? you should try poaching or steaming your chicken, les rubbery than boiling. r3wt - thought you couldn't cook? -------------- Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing. -Abraham Lincoln

While the soup chills, the fat comes to the top and you skim that off. One would not use chicken breasts for the soup. We use a whole chicken, all of it. Carrots, Parsnip, dill, onions and garlic. As a mater of fact you can add buckwheat to the broth when serving. What a meal! -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet!
