I always cook my chicken breasts in the DCB now. I usually cook 3 and if they are big breasts (boneless, skinless always), then I will cut the leftover up into thin slices and put it on a small square and let the guests sample that. I pour out some of the broth and use my salad choppers to chop the chicken right in the DCB. It works great. Just don't pour out all the broth, it is way to dry to do it that way.

What a great idea - using the salad choppers right in the DCB - a marriage of 2 of my favorite products!:love: :love:

You are so smart Ruthie!
 
Great - THANK YOU Ruthie! Can you tell me how long it takes to cook them?

Why thank you Becky :D ! I was in a bind because I forgot all of my knives at a show, and I looked around for something to chop the chicken with and there they were.....my handy Salad Choppers. That's all I use now to chop the meat with at my shows. It's great since I'm not making the salsa anymore. I sell loads of those and the people who already bought them see them working great with meat too!

I cook 3 chicken breasts for 6 minutes then check temp with the pocket thermometer. Sometimes it takes 8 minutes. Make sure the temp is up to 170. I just put the lid back on and let them sit until I'm ready for them. Everyone is amazed at the steam that is still in there. I tell them the baker was keeping them hot and basting them for us til we were ready for them.
Love, love, love my DCB :love:
