I love chicken and noodles and chicken and dumplings, ect, but hate chicken that has been boiled. I think it is tasteless and sticky. Does anyone have a good way to cook it, I use boneless chicken breasts, besides boiling that would be good in recipes like I mentioned above? Thanks!

roast it in the oven. thats what I do and it's so tender and tastes great. use a dry rub of any kind of spices you like to have and my favorite is cajan spice and rub it on and just roast it in the oven.

You can roast or boil your chicken also. To add more flavor to the boiled chicken cook it in chicken broth with some celery, onions and garlic. When you add the chicken turn it down to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Let it cool in the broth if you have time, the flavors will soak in. Roasting the chicken adds a deeper, richer flavor. Roast whole chickes for about an hour, if you are using chicken breast roast them for 30 minutes or so. Let it cool and just pull the meat off the bones. Cooked chicken will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, so if you roast a chicken on Monday you could use the left over meat later in the week for a different dinner.

I'm a big fan of The Barefoot Contessa - Ina Garten. Her method of preparing chicken is to use the bone-in chicken breasts with the skin attached. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from the oven, and let rest until cool. Then, remove the skin and bone. The skin keeps the mean much moister - and the bone gives it more flavor.
I use this method every time now - and there is none better!

It's perfect if you have a George Foreman or other indoor grill. Heat it up, throw the raw chicken in there (with or without seasonings), and let it cook; in a few minutes it's cooked, tender, juicy, ready to be put into soups, sauces, casseroles, or whatever. Besides being yummy, doing it this way you don't have to boil, and you don't have to heat up the oven.

Basic rules of cooking: Boiling reduces flavor
Baking concentrates flavor
this is true for veggies two try making a potato salad with baked instead of boiled potatoes.

I like it Italian style. Fry it in veg oil till done then add Ragu sause and simmer; cook pasta: then put pasta on the plate with the covered chicken and sause and add cheese etc to taste.
Chicken salad is my diet favorite or chicken taco cassarole is a nice change.
Now your making me hungry! :) Good Luck

Have you tried boiling it with chicken boullion cubes?
Instead of boiling it you could bake it and then add it to the soup.
