I get bored of chicken pretty fast regardless of how it's made. The texture and flavor of the chicken itself gets old if I have it more often than 2-3 days a week. Now potatoes, potatoes I can eat every day for every meal and it could even be the same couple of recipes cycled and I wouldn't get bored. Pick another protein if chicken bores you. All kinds of meat or even vegetarian protein options. It doesn't have to be chicken every time all the time.
ETA: had lentil and cauliflower curry on buckwheat groats (was out of rice) and it was pretty decent on protein, no chicken involved.0 -
I hope the OP will come back and clarify if they just wanted new chicken recipes or ideas of something to eat that is not chicken. I guess they have gotten a bit of both although not many actual non-chicken recipes yet.
Some things my family eats that are not chicken:

I don't know the answer but the question boggles my mind. Is there a reason you need to eat so much chicken?1

If your looking for a recipe containing chicken then make a panini. The one I make is 287 cal and fills me up. 2 slices of wheat (140), grilled chicken (67), and pepper jack cheese (80). You can always add onto by adding lettuce, red peppers, or even a dressing like ranch. Tastes amazing and better than the restaurant version of 1350 cal.0

You gotta embrace the chicken, man. There's no escaping it.
Sometimes I switch to turkey because I'm a weirdo and I like that dense, dry, slightly salty quality turkey meat has.
Also, consider seafood, any seafood. Prawns/shrimp are particularly good sources of quality protein.Need2Exerc1se wrote: »I don't know the answer but the question boggles my mind. Is there a reason you need to eat so much chicken?
One of the best and most versatile sources of protein. It's far, far leaner than beef, pork or lamb.1 -

I like the Campbells Slow Cooker/Skillet sauces- they have Buffalo chicken, pulled pork (which I put over chicken), Chicken Marsala, Creamy Parm Chicken, Sweet and Sour chicken, sweet teriyaki chicken, Creamy garlic butter, chicken, chicken pot pie, tai curry chicken, and sesame chicken.
Also, if your grocery store has an 'ethinic' section, butter chicken is great, and I just pour the sauce in the crockpot with the chicken and let it cook all day.0 -
why are you eating so much chicken to make you sick of it?? So many other great protein sources out there as well mix them up so that you don't get bored. Steak, Pork, fish... One of my favorite chicken recipes is shredded buffalo chicken stuffed peppers. I put the chicken in the crock pot then shred it, add hot sauce and black beans then stuff tri colored peppers with the chicken add a little mozzarella and bake. So delish! Another Chicken recipe I do is chicken breast with assorted olives (I usually get a an antipasto assortment) sprinkle with fresh parm cheese, broccoli and bake.0

just got this one from a co worker for chicken BBQ on the grill-
The chicken sauce is really easy to make, and the longer the chicken sits in the sauce the more flavorful it is. I’ve BBQ both bone in and boneless. It makes for spectacular chicken.
Here’s the recipe
4 eggs
1 cup white vinegar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp salt
3 tsp poultry seasoning

Eat something besides chicken...variety is the spice of life.
Eat fish, shell fish, lean cuts of beef/pork, etc...you don't have to just eat chicken.0 -

Original Taco is great on chicken as is Greek, Galena Street; Northwoods is popular... so many more. Season, skillet, add a veggie on the side and done.
Do that with Greek seasoning for example and throw some olives and sun-dried tomatoes in and a 1/4 cup of broth & let it reduce. Great with cauliflower if you like it or potato and green beans. A good cast iron skillet has been priceless for good old chicken too. I feel you on the chicken boredom!!!
OMG Penzeys. We love Arizona Dreaming for chicken faijitas and we just tried Krakow Nights on some turkey burgers- absolutely amazing. We eat fish, pork, chicken, lean ground beef, bacon... don't have to just eat chicken!
Mrs. Dash is also awesome for easy seasonings to make different dishes- many great, and salt free, options as well.0 -

So what? If OP is eating so much chicken she's going nuts, probably best she figure out how to fit a wee bit more fat in her diet so she can eat something else.
Besides, as has already been mentioned, there are cuts of pork that are just as lean as chicken breast.
OP, good protein substitutes have already been suggested. Maybe let us know how you've been eating chicken so we can suggest something different?
Personally, I love a good curry. Those can be done with any protein, or none. Roasted chicken thighs are another favorite (though I haven't made them in a while because I hate cleaning up oil spatter).0 -

This is absolutely delicious...it's very high in calories, so it's not something you want to eat every day.
"Butter chicken"
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016754-butter-chicken
1 ½ cups full-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons ground turmeric
2 tablespoons garam masala
2 tablespoons ground cumin
3 pounds chicken thighs, on the bone
¼ pound unsalted butter
4 teaspoons neutral oil, like vegetable or canola oil
2 medium-size yellow onions, peeled and diced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated or finely diced
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 cinnamon stick
2 medium-size tomatoes, diced
2 red chiles, like Anaheim, or 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
Kosher salt to taste
⅔ cup chicken stock, low-sodium or homemade
1 ½ cups cream
1 ½ teaspoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons ground almonds, or finely chopped almonds
½ bunch cilantro leaves, stems removed.
PREPARATION
Whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, turmeric, garam masala and cumin in a large bowl. Put the chicken in, and coat with the marinade. Cover, and refrigerate (for up to a day).
In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter in the oil until it starts to foam. Add the onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and cumin seeds, and cook until the onions start to brown.
Add the cinnamon stick, tomatoes, chiles and salt, and cook until the chiles are soft, about 10 minutes.
Add the chicken and marinade to the pan, and cook for 5 minutes, then add the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for approximately 30 minutes.
Stir in the cream and tomato paste, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the almonds, cook for an additional 5 minutes and remove from the heat. Garnish with the cilantro leaves.

Chicken drumsticks have become a staple for me. I'll lay out 12 on a baking sheet, drizzle it all with olive oil, and then season each set of 4 differently (all on the same sheet!) One set might be basic salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Another might be basted with BBQ sauce. Mix & matching spices can give you all sorts of flavors- Greek, Italian, Indian, Morrocan, etc. I get the spice-mix recipes from Pinterest. With the cooked drumsticks, I might eat them as-is and just add veggies and salads as sides. Or I might cut it up and put it in a salad, sandwich, or wrap. That way it's a little different each day but with the convenience of one cooking session.1
