Well, I just joined the George club. I got a George Foreman grill for my birthday. So...can someone help me with some advice? For instance frozen chicken breasts and frozen veggies...how long, etc? Do I need to go buy a meat thermometer?

Welcome to the club!!! Although mine's not a Foreman. I've had them before, and mine's the same, just a different brand that I find easier to clean.

Anyway, I usually defrost my chicken breasts first. Defrosted, they take about eight minutes, depending on the size/thickness. I put 'em on and usually turn them over once, about halfway through.

I fully endorse GEORGE!!!! Those grills are the greatest! The only complaint i have ever had is that they are a pain in the butt to clean BUT now they came out w/ a new George that has retractable grill plates that you can throw in the dishwasher or wash in the sink... Problem solved! I love everything that is cooked on George... it always comes out so moist :bib: , so if you are having a problem with meat drying out, i think you are definitely overcooking it... it does cook really quick, but i think that's great, cuts back on cooking time and with a busy schedule, that is a huge help.... I usually don't even like chicken breasts (i prefer thighs) but on the george, they are never dried out... and always flavorful, so maybe your marinade wasn't thick enough... glad you worked that out though, cuz George is my best friend in the kitchen... for everything!

* i should go into advertising for them * :cheermed:

I have never cooked a frozen piece of meat on the foreman. I'd think the outside would char a little too much before the inside finished cooking. I would thaw first. I don't actually pay attention to how long I cook my food. I usually put my meat on the foreman then prepare my veggies. If I'm cooking a steak I better prepare my veggies quick otherwise my steak over cooks. I think I always overcook my chicken.

I agree here. Having done this once or twice, the inside came out raw and I ended up way overcooking the outside to get the inside completely done.

It's a lot easier when they're thawed, DeDe. Mike usually does the cooking here, but there should be a little pamphlet that gives you approximate times for things.

Yeah, I would thaw it first. Chicken is done when you poke it and it feels about like the thumb section of your palm. I don't use meat thermometers.

The only way that a George Forman works well on frozen chicken (or any meat) is if you have the giant grill. If you don't, it usually takes 30 minutes or so to cook.

I just put a piece of chicken in the refrigerator the night before.
