I grill and bake chicken breast on a regular basis. They cook all the way through, but they always seem chewy and rubber-like. I boil chicken on occasion and comes out decent. My chicken breasts come right from the meat section at the grocery store and are never frozen. What can I do to make the right chicken breast?

I think I can use olive oil (from the supermarket that’s used for cooking) in my hair but I am not sure because I asked my mum to buy me extra virgin olive oil and she said I cant use it in my hair because its for cooking not hair but I know she’s wrong but I am not 100% sure, by the way I have thick natural afro hair.
