Preventing Dry Chicken

Several pieces of grilled chicken on a black plate against a white backgroundI cook and freeze chicken and poultry to use for meals later. I'm finding that the meat is very dry. Any suggestions on how to prevent this from occurring?

I am chuckling about this because everyone is giving you cooking tips, but that isn't your issue. It is how the chicken comes out after freezing it. The only thing I can think of is that you freeze it in some juice/gravy as well, then when it thaws it will thaw in the juice unless of course if you grill it. This is a tough one because I am not sure there is a definite solution. Sorry I wasn't much help.

What works for me is to cook my chicken in a crockpot versus oven. I like dark meat chicken, so I will buy family packs (when on sale) of boneless thighs, cook in crockpot on a weekend afternoon. Shred or cube chicken, and store in freezer bag. I also make sure to get as much air out of the freezer bag as possible..I think this may help as well.

I make casseroles and chicken salad, etc. during the week from this chicken, and I haven't had any dry chicken yet from the freezer. Hope this might work for you.

I absolutely love to cook but I have trouble with chicken breasts coming out too dry. Does anybody have any suggestions for keeping them a little more moist? We love chicken breast and eat a lot of it for health reasons.
