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?

dont cut it up before cooking it, or it goes tough and dry.

Use a thermometer to check if its done. cook it to 165F
without a thermometer, you have to develop a feel for when its done cooking, which comes from trial and error.

Not OP but could anyone recommend a good tray to bake chicken in the oven with? I want something that's easy to clean preferably and if it's possible something that would minimize grease splatters in the oven.

You prepped it strangely. Do this
Defrost in the fridge a day before. For example, put them in the fridge the afternoon before you're going to cook them
Start heating your pan, medium heat
Rub the chicken with a little olive oil
Season one side with what you like: salt, pepper, oregano, basil, paprika, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, what have you
Add oil to pan
Place the chicken in with the side you just seasoned facing down
Set a timer
Season the other side which is now face up while the chicken is in the pan
At 8 minutes, flip
Cook another 8 minutes
That's it
You don't need to cut the chicken up, but if they're breasts and really thick, consider cutting them once lengthwise to make them thinner
