While I was home for the holidays (and all turkey'd and ham'd-out), I got a great tip from my mom for chicken. If you brine chicken before cooking it, it helps to tenderize the chicken while also adding flavor. For 1 pound of chicken (4 small boneless, skinless breasts), just mix 4 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of salt. Then add the chicken and let sit (refrigerated) for at least an hour, sort of like a marinade.
For variety, you can throw in some spices, too, such as bay leaves or garlic - get creative!
