Many thanks for all the kind comments and great advice!

We'll be eating that chicken for days, and the cheese for months.  I've now a rotation schedule for my cheeses - there are three batches of differing ages in the fridge - looks almost like a cheese counter in a store  ;D

Thanks David!

Typically I cook chicken and save the breast for last - not because it is the best, but because I have to choke down cottony chicken, and have to try to figure out what to do with it.

This evening we sliced a breast across the grain, and put it on a slice of my wife's homemade thyme bread topped with Bradley smoked cheddar (mild).  My wife's comment was "OMG, it's moist!" I was pleased and flattered that she liked the SRG cook so much, but the implication is clear "Dear, sorry to say this but your prior chicken sucks;D

The breast was moist and tender, even on the day after spending the night in the fridge - best chicken breast I've ever eaten.  I am totally sold on the SRG for doing birds, and can't wait to try it on a Thanksgiving turkey.

You're going to love that turkey, pz. That's how I got into the SRG. My youngest brother was the family's official turkey fryer for years - the old fashioned way. Several years ago (just when they came out) I bought him a TBE for Christmas. He called me up when he made his first turkey - said not only was it easier and safer with no oil to deal with, it was the best d@#n turkey he ever made or ate. I bought the SRG when it came out and have to agree.

if you like goat cheese at all, you'd love smoked goat cheese.

Smoked goat cheese, man that does sound good!  I will gladly take that advice and give it a try.
