Reheating Cooked Chicken

[Chipchopper]

Is it fine to put precooked chicken pieces into a stew, if I microwave it first ?

I dont think you need to microwave it Chip. As long as it is in the stew for long enough to be thoroughly heated through on a high enough temp it will be perfectly safe. Microwaving it may make it rubbery. No mimicry of Benny Hill intended. :))

Thanks Togo, I feel better about it now.

with togo..no microwave or it will overcook... a stew over a while on a decent heat is good

Microwaves are the devil's work...useful only for occasional reheating of non-animal priducts...;-)

except for rice pudding, making custard, milk to drink, scrambled eggs................

Errmm, why would you want to do that?

Oops!...I forgot. They are excellent for mug cakes. Instant gratification. :-)

If you put cooked chicken in a stew and then 'stew' it the chicken will be stringy and nasty.
Make you stew and then 10 minutes before serving add the cooked chicken and heat in the sauce.
