microwaving chicken
 

How long should I cook a chicken breast (sri, not sure of the weight) in a
800w microwave?

I just experimented with one for 2 minutes, and it is 'white' throughout'
after 2 mins, ie no pinkness, so is that the test? Or should it have longer?
TIA

No rules with regard to weight, at least not any that are worth looking for.
You cook until it's done.

Is the chicken done? How does it taste? If it tastes done, 2 minutes is
enough for that size piece of chicken. With microwave ovens, you really
have to experiment and learn how YOUR oven works with the food YOU
prefer to cook.
