I'm just starting in this area and I'd like some help.
When I'm about to grill a chicken breast, I usually cut the breast in very thin pieces. I put some oil in a square grill pan (exactly like this one) and turn on the stove (in a very high temperature). After a few minutes, I spread the oil, turn the temperature in medium and put the breast chicken there. I usually wait until the side of the chicken that I'm looking is almost completely white. Than I turn the slice.
My cousin is a cheffchef, so he knows a lot about food. When I said that I pressed the breast chicken against the pan, he said to me not to. He told me just to liveleave the slice there and, when there's a lot of water in the side of the piece that I'm looking at, then it's the time to turn it. I tried this, but the other side of the chicken is never beautiful as the part that was against the pan. Than I kinda freak out and start pressing with the fork again, afraid that I might eat a raw chicken - wich stinks!
Can you guys give me some advicesadvice? I read a lot about it on the Internet and here, tried a lot of things, but most of the advicesadvice and recipes didn't work. I'm using only salt and olive oil to marinademarinate the breat chicken breast (and the oil that I put in the pan). Since I'm on a diet, I can't use sauces that are not 'natural' (like italian sauce, sellledsold in the supermarkets).
Sometimes I believe there's something wrong with the size of the pan, considering the size of the mouths of the stove burners (maybe the pan is too big for it?). Does that hashave some impact?
Thanks a lot. And I'm sorry my english, I'm not fluent.
