Excellent! I skipped the dill and I don't like all the sodium in bouillon cubes, so I used Wyler's sodium free instant bouillon. Also instead of garlic salt, I used crushed fresh garlic (I use a LOT of garlic in just about everything I fix) and man oh man, it was simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-! Even the family who likes salt ate it without any at all. In fact, while it was cooking my family was coming in the kitchen saying how good it smelled and kept asking when it was going to be done. :) I have 2 teens and 3 adults in this house, so that says quite a bit about this recipe. This is for sure a keeper. Thanks so much for posting!

I used approximately 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, otherwise followed recipe except I didn't have Italian seasoning so I added some oregano and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Turned out very moist and tasty.

I love, love this recipe! So wonderful when you need a moist, tender chicken for chicken salad or whatever. So flexible as to seasonings, simply the best!

I had never microwaved chicken before. I hate cooking chicken because I can never get it "right". I needed cooked chicken for a recipe and this was quick, easy, and just what I needed. I used chicken broth and margarine and seasoned it with garlic powder and lemon pepper. Turned out great!

Super easy chicken recipe for use in other dishes. I make it exactly as written. This chicken tastes delicious in the "Holiday Chicken Salad" on this site.

This was so good. We are remodeling our kitchen so we have no stove and i was tired of microwave meals. This recipes tasted like I had been cooking on the stove for hours. It hit the right spot. I recommand this recipe for if you don't have a lot of time to cook dinner or youjust might not an available stove.

This is the recipe I use when I need to make a chicken salad or some other dish that requires boiled chicken. This turns out very moist and has just a little flavor so you can use it with almost anything. Thanks for the post.

I don't usually cook food in the microwave (use it mainly for defrosting and reheating). I only made this recipe because our stove/oven was out of commission for a couple days and I had to rely on the microwave to cook meals. While the chicken turned out very moist, it was otherwise very bland. I might think about using this recipe if I needed to cook chicken quickly for a salad, but it comes out just as tender if you boil it on the stove.

This recipe has great flavor. I have never cooked chicken in the microwave before, but it was quick, easy & delicious! My husband is not a fan of chicken because it always seems to be too dry - he loved this! Very moist!

I've made this several times for chicken salad. The chicken comes out incredibly moist and flavorful, even if you cut back on the butter. I add a little more garlic than is called for. :) Thanks for a great recipe!

I used the recipe to prepare chicken for chicken fried rice. The result was amazing! The chicken was SO moist and tender! Usually I pick my way around the chicken because it would tend to be dry. This time I found myself picking the chicken out and eating it. This recipe can be changed up to go with anything for which you need chicken! It's great!

Excellent! A great base recipe to have cooked chicken & you can adjust the seasonings to whatever you need. I cut back on the butter & put garlic in. Also handy when I only need a breast or two.

A number of recipes on this site call for cooked chicken breast and so I was looking for a quick and tasty way to cook chicken breasts. This was a snip to make and the chicken was tender and moist. I can't say I would ever cook it just to eat plain but as a way to provide tasty cooked breast for other recipes, I can recommend it.

This recipe was delish. The chicken was very moist and absorbed the flavor very well. I sliced it and had it in a salad with ranch. AWESOME! I will definitely make this a regular meal.
