Cook’s Tip: To grill chicken in Grill Pan, season 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz/175 g each) with salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Heat pan over medium heat 5 minutes. Spray pan with vegetable oil. Cook chicken 7–10 minutes. Turn chicken over; cook 7–10 minutes or until Digital Pocket Thermometer registers 165°F (74°C) and

OR, place chicken in the Deep Covered Baker with salt, pepper and seasoning. Cover and microwave for 6-12 minutes (more if the chicken is still frozen).
