Any good way to make chicken breast palatable? Every time I try it I get pouch pain.

It needs lube. I make a little guacamole and spread it on each bite. Or cook the chicken in the slow cooker, shred, and mix with some salsa and low fat sour cream.

"Lube"--that's funny! But isn't the avocado fat kind of defeating the benefit of the chicken breast? I like your ideas, especially the slow cooker one. I might even try one of the oven baking bags to seal in the juices.

Not if you keep the avocado portion on the small side. The fat from the avocado is a healthy fat, even though it does add calories. I haven't discovered yet how to eat grilled or sauteed chicken breast without a little sauce or fat of some kind.

Avocado is a great 'lube'. Lol. The only burger I was able to eat with no trouble had guacamole on it. I ate a whole 1/3 of it! :-)

Avocado is a healthy fat recommended by my nut.

I'll have to try the avocado and sauces. I can tolerate cream of chicken soup. I just don't want to stay in the pureed stage with chicken.

I haven't tried avocado. I've noticed a lot of people seem to eat it after surgery and wondered why. I'll give it a try when I'm cleared for it.

I eat guacamole, but only a couple times a month. Delicious!

Chicken is a food that alot of us have a hard time with. I have read that it is because of the stringiness of it. I can do turkey fine so not sure why chicken bothers me so.

I'm with you. I've only been able to tolerate it in cream of chicken soup, and even then only in small quantities.

Ditto on chicken. I tried again last night and it came back up within an hour. :-p
