I usually bake my chicken breasts, but am thinking about getting a Foreman grill. I usually get the prefrozen chicken breasts in bulk at Costco and was wondering if I could grill them on the Foreman grill or do I need to defrost them first?
Also, does it taste any better grilling them as opposed to baking them?

no dude you can totally grill frozen chicken on a foreman, i love it and do it everyday. best of all it takes at most 10 minutes, the outside does get a lil crispy but not too bad, still good. i'd recommend the tenderloins over the breasts cuz those take even less time to cook and the inside cooks faster so you dont have the outside crispy and the inside soft problem but breasts can be cooked just fine too when still frozen.

Uh... I make 2x chicken every night on my George Foreman.... Simple, easy, and tastes YUMMY.
You gotta leave them overnight in room temp or 1 full day in the fridge to defrost and you are golden.
My cousin has a George foreman and it's terrible, it like burns the chicken. The one I got is sweet and makes it tender inside and out.
edit:
I cook 5 minutes on both sides.

How hard is it to take them out in the morning before you leave for work/school? Or put in a tupperware the night before to defrost in the fridge?
In a ziploc bag into luke warm water also works, and defrosts alot faster....
Defrosting in the microwave makes stuff taste like Poo....
I personally prefer to cook in the oven mind you, I find the foreman dry's stuff out, by the time it cooks through, the chicken is dryer than a piece of cardboard...I gave my foreman away, its either the BBQ, or into a nice 350 oven for 20-30 min....---------------------------

You can cook a frozen chicken breast on the Foreman provided it's not too thick. The ideal thickness would be 1/2 to 3/4 inches. If the frozen breast is too bulky and uneven, it will take forever to cook all the way through. Then the top and bottom will be overdone.
Don't let chicken defrost for hours at room temperature. There's too much of a chance for bacteria to grow and taint the meat. It's best to let the breast defrost in the fridge overnight.
Try lining your Foreman with non-stick foil or parchment paper. The meat will cook up juicier with less cleanup.

I've found that if you turn the heat down a notch and cook the chicken reeeaaal slow it grills up nice and juicy.
Also marinating the chicken really helps. I've never grilled a frozen piece of chicken in my life. But I'm big into marinating it for at least an hour or so.
But like people have said...put it in a baggy and sit it in some lukewarm water and it will be defrosted in 10 minutes...and grill much quicker and juicier. So why not defrost it?
