I'm a dude and this is a life saver! Thank you so much I was starving and couldn't wait until it was defrosted

[@MOMables]

Happens to me too 😆 glad it was helpful!

[@Swagolisious2]

Lol this comment is gold

[@joebrewcrow]

Haha same. Learning cook skills in my mid 20s, great video!

[@Mr-ep2qi]

Lmaoo

[@aleczandergonzales3808]

Literally me right now which is why I’m here 😂😂

[@ilovenoodles7483]

Thanks. It should be noted that when you season frozen meat, all that does is make the seasoning just fall right off and burn the pan. The instructions you gave were right on.

[@MOMables]

Thanks for watching@

[@SparrowMoonhaze]

Simplest answer I have found anywhere online! Thank you so much!

[@MOMables]

Glad you found it helpful! I've had to do this more than once! ;)

[@jimmygoff5119]

I took a bag of boneless skinless chicken breast put in a 9 × 12 metal pan salt pepper chilli and lime seasoning and topped with diced tomatoes and green chills in the oven at 350° when almost done drizzled A1 bbq sauce and Italian dressing then cooked till done. Was the bomb Excellent.

[@MOMables]

Glad they were great!

[@itmattersnot1216]

I don't believe you 🤢

[@QueenD8912]

I forgot to thaw my chicken before leaving the house to attend my children's mother's day celebration and run a few errands. I came back and looked up how to cook frozen chicken breast lol. Thank you for the tips you're a lifesaver🤗

[@MOMables]

So glad this was helpful! We've all been there...

[@timbaker1320]

Thank you for the video. Cooking frozen tenders on the stove with an enameled frying pan is something I do often. A nice change from hotdogs on a piece of bread or hotdog bun.

[@MOMables]

Glad it was helpful!

[@waronamogobye436]

I'm home alone and hungry😭 Thank you sm🔥

[@opensage01]

Great video. Definitely useful information for just about everybody. Thanks for sharing and cheers.

[@MOMables]

So glad this was helpful for you!

[@grey59scrim]

I just moved into my own flat since I turned 18 and I have some chicken and I'm starvinggg thanks queen

[@MOMables]

Wooohooo! Happy first place and lots of cooking!

[@Gaby-eh4bh]

Thank you!

[@linuskegel474]

This was exactly what I needed to know, thank you very much

[@MOMables]

You're welcome 😊

[@tarshacarn2184]

I spread Hellman's Mayo on one side of the chicken & put melted butter in pan & fry SOOOO good 👍.

[@MOMables]

Sounds great!

[@johnb7399]

I was never sure about cooking chicken from frozen so I awalys let it fully defrost but that's just me and I have just subscribed to your channel 👍

[@MOMables]

Welcome! Happy to share recipes with you!

[@devonwhite5329]

Thank u queen

[@Moss.and.sawdust]

Way to break the fourth wall and call us out like that. As I stand here phone in hand, frozen chicken in the other 😂

[@MOMables]

Haha 😆😅

[@kathdez5359]

Wow thank you 😊

[@MOMables]

You're welcome 😊

[@lindat915]

Hi. What orange seasoning did you use for the chicken? I like to keep it simple and yours seems to be what I’m looking for. I watched a few videos and it’s overwhelming to see all that seasoning added on. Lol.

[@MOMables]

I usually keep it simple with salt and pepper and garlic. Then the red/orange is paprika :)

[@nh255]

THANK U QUEEN

[@MOMables]

🙌

[@Shechosecasket]

thanks queen 🙏

[@MOMables]

Glad you found this helpful!

[@lrlgr2366]

When cooking a whole frozen chicken, but in a convection oven, what temp would I use and time per pound? Thanks so much

[@MOMables]

I do not recommend cooking a whole frozen chicken. Chicken breasts sure but a whole chicken is very difficult to cook to an internal temperature of 165F &175F all the way in. Please consider thawing the chicken first.

[@isaiahcano496]

Thank you so much you really helped me a lot you're amazing and very beautiful btw

[@MOMables]

Thank you! *blushes* Glad you found it helpful!

[@HungryMeshigaud]

thank you

[@MOMables]

Welcome!

[@SarnamiDreamz]

Googling with a phone, how to unfreeze chicken - You perfectly captured my situation😄

[@MOMables]

We've all been there, friend. I hope this helps!

[@clarencemarsh5533]

Delicious

[@MOMables]

:)

[@drewp6698]

Tell me what you think about this. I get bags of frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts. I boil them with a bunch of salt and pepper in the water while their boiling. I'm sure they don't turn out as tasty as the methods shown in this video, but it seem to work well, fairly quick, and they do end up being very tender. Also I don't really worry about overcooking this way. I just throw them in the pot, turn on the stove, go watch tv, and check on them every once in a while. Is this a good/safe technique?

[@MOMables]

This method is called poaching chicken, and while I don't usually start with frozen chicken, it is 100% ok to do with frozen chicken since you're boiling them. Poaching chicken is a great way to get juicy breasts. :)

[@akashvashishtha8810]

I'm a doing the same thing rn.. cooking chicken first ever time.. didn't had any idea what to do.. i turne stove on and just put the chicken without applying anything... 1 min later I saw this white residue, and i got scared and just added water.. and left it for boiling.. it's been 10 mins and I'm watching this 😂.. next I'm gonna cool it down marinate it in curd-spice mix and give it a crisp texture on pan.. can't eat just the boiled one..

[@HelloTuuuurdz]

Your voice is so sweet!

[@MOMables]

Thank you!

[@polar6066]

entonces no usas microondas? la verdad siempre que las pechugas las compro congeladas, las lavo en agua y después las pongo en el micro y luego a la sartén, pero quedan con uns textura latiguda que cuesta masticar.

[@MOMables]

La textura es del micro… 😞

[@Drarack]

So, if I don't have any recipe before me calling for a specific length of time, how long would a chicken breast like that take in the oven?

[@MOMables]

Great question! I have a chart comparing temperature, cook time and size of the chicken breast to help. There are so many variables it's the easiest way to help you find the temp that's right for what you're cooking. You can check it out in this post www.laurafuentes.com/temperature-bake-chicken-breasts/

[@vagellan_8842]

As a bachelor with nothing but a well seasoned cast iron pan and some teriyaki sauce, I thank you!

[@MOMables]

Our pleasure!

[@groofoot]

I am very poor and I do not have cooking oil .... and I can't afford any .... all I have is the frozen chicken breast(s) and a deep pan .... can I still cook them on the stove top??

[@vagellan_8842]

@@groofoot of course you can! clean up might be a bit more difficult but I don't mind. Just so you're aware, you can use ANY food-grade fat you've got on hand instead of "cooking oil," so before you stick your meat on a hot, dry skillet, see if you have any butter, margarine, lard, Crisco, leftover grease from a recently cooked meal (probably strain it).

[@groofoot]

@@vagellan_8842 ... oh okay ... I do have some butter .... maybe I could cook/ melt the butter in the pan, and then put the chicken breast in ....

[@vagellan_8842]

@@groofoot that's sounds absolutely Delicious! probably only need like a tablespoon or (10 grams?) butter. keep the heat on low and cut the chicken into smaller chunks so the butter doesn't begin to smoke and turn brown (butter has a significantly lower smoke point than most oils) just take your time, when the interior of the chicken is white all the way through, it's done. And don't pay too much attention to the details and specifications, just cook until it looks good then eat!

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I bought some chicken breasts from the deli at my supermarket. They didn't look the freshest so I froze them straight away. My aim is to cook them one at a time and shred the meat for heart healthy meals. (I was just diagnosed with high cholesterol).

[@MOMables]

Sounds great!

[@user-nd7rd8jo6h]

Hate cooking it frozen...but I guess it works in a pinch 😅 I did forget to eat today

[@MOMables]

Sometimes I forget to defrost the chicken...😅 that's when these tips come in handy.

[@lilmisspsychopathic6802]

Thanks haha 😄 xxx

[@MOMables]

Welcome!

[@DaFunnySiide]

Last time i cooked it i used a little bit too much oil and the meat kinda released some sort of water...i will try your way and what happens...thank you🌹

[@MOMables]

Let me know how it goes!

[@DaFunnySiide]

@@MOMables it went vey good thanks a lot

[@mzach2828]

What heat do I cook them at in the pan?

[@MOMables]

medium-high heat.

[@justdottie325]

Do you cook frozen chicken in an Air Fryer? Thank you.

[@MOMables]

Yes. You can. Add an extra 5 minutes

[@LMThree]

Where is the link for the other video she said she would link?

[@MOMables]

Hi Lina, You can find the family-friendly dinner ideas I mentioned in the playlist here: bit.ly/FamDinnerPlaylist Enjoy!

[@ruthlessluder]

I bought a bag of frozen breast from Walmart. I want to make grilled chicken sandwich but when I tried to grill it it came out pretty dry...

[@MOMables]

Sounds like it was over cooked. So sad!

[@denisecook5640]

What yemp is fully cooked in the middle of the chicken??

[@MOMables]

Chicken breasts are 165F / 74C

[@JaiRaj26]

Is this the same process if the chicken is marinated and frozen?

[@MOMables]

Yes. It depends on how much marinade you have in the bag. I would run the outside of the bag under warm water to take the chicken out of the bag and keep as much of the marinade in the bag as possible.

[@Matt-cp9wh]

i partly defrosted. fried it and baked it. think its okay 🤯😅

[@MOMables]

I hope it was!

[@Rhianna74]

I wouldn’t add anything too sugary until the last ten minutes of cooking to save you all from a fire alarm being set off every time you open your oven. 😅 * great video though! Thanks

[@MOMables]

Thank you for the tip!

[@KAITREILLY]

Is this PER PIECE? So as a family im going to have like 4 pieces of chicken so..... maybe a dumb question but....

[@KAITREILLY]

Or let's say I'm meal prepping with a bag of chicken....how do I determine how long?

[@MOMables]

It depends on the cooking method. No, not per piece, the time is added to the total time in the recipe.

[@garethwilliams3048]

Thanks Demi Moore :)

[@MOMables]

You're welcome 😊

[@rayyanahmed6964]

Is it healthy though?

[@MOMables]

Sure!

[@AbsolutelyCasual]

I think I missed something I didn't see you cook any chicken or give directions how to lol you pretty much just read the directions off the bag which is preheat the oven to 375 and cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 then you mentioned seasoning which is preference

[@MOMables]

You can check all the details for each method here: bit.ly/CookFrozen

[@noshaba4274]

Whenever I cook frozen chicken it's always chewy. Can u tell any tip. My husband always get angry that u wasted chicken. If any one knows plsss share.

[@jasmineertha8351]

I use a bit of meat tenderizer and it doesn't get like that.

[@noshaba4274]

Thanks alot

[@MOMables]

Definitely season it.

[@noshaba4274]

So nice of u

[@noshaba4274]

But what if I am making chicken curry will bringing work

[@definitionXrp]

Why use parchment paper?

[@MOMables]

for easy cleanup mostly. But also, so the chicken doesn't stick to the metal pan if you don't use any oil.

[@definitionXrp]

Nah fareal tired of eating out!!!....do I have to clean it? After thrawing out

[@MOMables]

Drain out the juices from thawing and just pat dry wit paper towel.

[@tfcspacy4371]

What’s a non family friendly meal that you don’t post on KZbin?

[@MOMables]

I have lots of tequila recipes that are only "adult" friendly.... so I would not classify those as "family" friendly lol

[@Turkeyrolls]

Video starts at 2:18 if you're using a stove

[@MOMables]

True! 😇

[@rockboy360]

What if my frozen chicken was already seasoned 😭

[@MOMables]

You can still cook it!

[@bluemoon9367]

pov: you live in an ingredient household

[@MOMables]

happy to be the mom that shows people "how" in case they don't know...

[@polaris911]

pan method works but is really chewy

[@MOMables]

It depends on the chicken too.

[@lambosenpaii6089]

there is just no way that frozen chicken is not releasing water

[@MOMables]

It does, as all frozen chickens do.

[@patrickranes9998]

Thank you!

[@MOMables]

You're welcome!
