Tender chicken breasts

My chicken was always tough until I bought a meat thermometer. I will never cook meat without one again.

Chicken breasts should be tender when cooked properly. Are you sure you're not over cooking them? Many do.

I use the frozen chick breasts a lot but when I grill them in a skillet they are never as tender as I want them. Suggestions?

Brine 'em first and create a zoned fire. This is my go to technique for chicken which can easily be modified for other meats and with other seasonings:
