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.
