"1lb chicken tenders or chicken cutlets cut in bite size pieces" but no further directions on how to cook it, how would you cook it? For chicken noodle soup.

For chicken noodle soup, I usually boil the meat in chicken stock.

Yup. Simmer it in some chicken stock and then shred it or chop it into the right sized pieces. The stock will keep it from getting dry.

Lol, no worries. I had to ask about it a few weeks ago when I made chicken soup (for the first time).

I wouldn't boil it, but I would poach it in chicken stock.

Surely you must know I have no idea what the hell that means.

God bless Alton Brown- I love that man. Without him, I would be making hot dogs for dinner every night.

According to Uncle Altie (as DH and I call him), It's kind of like simmering it- you keep the liquid temperature at the temperature you want the chicken to be. It'll make it nice and juicy- boiling can cook your chicken too fast and you run the risk of making it over done.

OIC. So i can heat the chicken stock to like, a lower boil? And cook it the same? Sounds easy enough.
