Preface: I don't know anything about cooking
A while ago I made a thread asking about how to cook chicken without an oven, and people told me cook it on the stove top
I tried that for the first time and I'm not sure if I did it right.

I defrosted my chicken breast for 4 minutes in the microwave. Originally it was about 250g, and I cut it into 10 pieces. I doused it in salt and pepper, then put it on medium high for about 8 minutes.

It tasted a little off; not what I'm used to from the oven at least. Some bits seemed a bit tough, but others sort of just fell apart in my mouth. Is that normal?
