15. Have you tried marinating?

There are a boat load of suggestions if you google marinated chicken recipes. My favorite right now is a greek gyro marinade.

I have learned to trust this little trick for "doneness." The fleshy part of your palm... at the base of your thump... with your fingers straightened out. Push on that. That's about how your chicken should feel. I used to always cut a sample piece at the thickest part to double check for any pink, but after doing it for a while, I trust it now.

Also, let the meat rest for around 10 minutes before you cut it to let the juices redistribute.

With this particular recipe, I serve it on pita bread with chopped tomatoes, cucumber and some sour cream or plain greek yogurt. If you have some time, it's even better with a tzatzkiki sauce.
