One of the basic ingredients for any low carb diet is grilled chicken. Easy to make, simple to customize, you can grill a boneless chicken breast just about any time of year for a quick and tasty meal. It is low carb, and low fat too.
Remember these easy tips with buying and cooking chicken...
* Allow food to thaw to room temperature before grilling for added tenderness and flavor, but don't let food sit un-refrigerated longer than 20 to 30 minutes to prevent bacteria growth.
* If flare-ups occur, remove the food for a few moments and sprinkle water lightly over the flames, or smother them by covering the grill.
* To decrease heat, raise the cooking grid or sprinkle coals with a little water.
* Plan your menu, but keep it simple.
* Keep an instant read thermometer near the grill for a quick way of checking when your chicken is done.
* Use a meat thermometer.
* Start with a clean grill. Removing old ashes assures good air circulation, and cleaning away any cooked- on bits of food results in better flavor and quality.
