How do I make plain chicken taste nice?

[nodiggitydave]

I can buy plain chicken from Iceland at £1 for 200g.

They are strips originating from Thailand (i know i'm wary)

I'm guessing they are cuts of breasts but it's hard to tell, I don't think they are reformed but they do taste pretty bad compared to whole chickens I cook at home, but they're cheap and the nutritional values say they're very good.

I can't stomach them by themselves, especially when I'm already full and trying to get those calories in.

I've been using heaps of tomato sauce (ketchup) and also brown sauce, I know this is just like adding sugar though.

Any ideas?

put some BBQ sauce on it

The Ronnie Coleman way hey! Well I have tried it, and it tastes gooood, but again, it's just sugar ain't it? I have a tendency to go a little mad with sauces.

I bake chicken with a teaspoon of olive oil on each breast and whatever seasoning I'm in the mood for... Caribbean jerk, Montreal, etc. Sometimes I put teriyaki sauce on it, sometimes Lowry's sesame ginger sauce, sometimes plain barbeque sauce (I really like Sonny's, but it's expensive, hard to find, and has a lot of sugar in it).

so basically you can't do it without a lot of sugar? lol

Maybe some garlic, pepper, and lemon pan fried with olive oil?

i've been using honey mustard, pretty fucking legit. 1g carb per tbsp and that's it

Get chicken breast chop a red chilli, lime juice, tarragon and salt/pepper and marinate over night. Throw on the BBQ yummy

two words...... MRS. DASH, pretty much the only delicious seasoning that has no salt,

then I cook it with some shit, and eat it all together,.. Steamed broccli, peppers, Brown rice.... oh and dont forget you lemon and lime juice,,,

You could marinade it in Italian dressing and even fry it in MCT oil. Blackened chicken with the blackened seasoning, there are various rubs to try, and sometimes I like some decent honey mustard dressing on the chicken, but very small amounts.

Marinade it for few days with a good marinade.....Italian dressing works but is to vinegary for me. I like an orange based marinade which is awesome, I can eat lbs of chicken without getting tired of it, anything else like BBQ sauce and other stuff not too good in my book.....forgot one more thing, if you have chicken breast slice it thin in half ,marinates much better

I would be careful in marinading poultry for "a few days". Chicken doesn't keep well, best fresh and doesn't require more than couple hours at most to absorb marinade. try foodtv.com for tons of recipes. you may even find some Jamie Oliver recipes there...ha ha ha.

mrs dash all the way! they have a couple flavors too. I marinate mine in a low fat italian dressing and then sprinkle mrs dash on it. Mmmmm

Try just using lemon pepper seasoning.

I marinade my chicken for days and I have yet to be sick from it......I think that as long as it is refrigerated its fine for few days. If that worries you freeze it while its marinating

fresh orange juice and some honey.
