    We've been doing marinades. Sam's club has a huge bottle of sweet and spicy that's good and then all the different flavored onces near the steak sauce in the store are also good. We did sun dried tomato on thin cut chicken breasts on the grill tonight and it was fab :)

    I like to brine the boneless skinless chicken breasts, something like this http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2009/06/09/the-best-chicken-you-will-ever-eat-ever/
    The extra step keeps the meat juicy.

    I like mine with a little olive oil, garlic with olive oil (I am too Lazy to chop my own so I buy the jar) Italian seasoning and then sprinkle with romano and parmesian cheese. I usually try to roast tomatoes, onions and peppers to go with it... Yummy ! I do the same thing with Swai fish fillets also!

    just a simple Italian dressing - let them marinate for at least an hour. while grilling - brush with the juice. don't over cook. really yummy. also do tomatoes, peppers, onions and mushrooms on shishkabob stakes and marinate with the juice while cooking the chicken.

    ok when you say grilled, is this cooking on the outdoor barbeque or in the oven, near the top with heat coming from above? or something else altogether

    I am in New Zealand and for me, grilling is the 2nd option

    I get confused with these terms which mean something different depending on where you are !

    Marinate in Cavender's Greek seasoning, olive oil and balsalmic vinegar. Serve with salad with reduced fat feta.

    Another option is to cook your chicken breasts in a crockpot. I do this every other week, just to mix things up. Super easy and convenient. Depending on the flavor you want, cook chicken in broth and add in what you are in the mood for. Personally, I like my food spicy so I will add in a little chicken broth and a jar of salsa. Another option is after the chicken is cooked in broth, take it out, shred and and mix with greek yogurt and sauteed mushrooms and onion. Kind of like a stroganoff.

    After I cook and shred the chicken I put it in a container in the fridge and use for salads or reheat with veggies.

    Massage soy sauce into your chicken. Add a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Massage the chicken again - this works in all the flavors and makes the chicken nice and tender. Grill and enjoy!

    Take the juice and the finely chopped green zest of one lime, 1 tablespoon each chili powder and cumin, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 1 2 teaspoons hot sauce (I use cholula chili lime), finely minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons water. Enough for 4 boneless skinless breasts. Marinade in a ziplock gallon bag for an hour or two. When you take the chicken out of the bag to cook it, put in some red bell pepper slices and sliced onion with a bit of water and then cook all that together in a covered sauce pan until tender (may need to keep adding water).

    Makes a great chicken fajita taco.

    Non fat yogurt and tabasco or cajun type seasoning to taste, marinate over night, knock of extra and grill away. Indian type spices for a tandoori flavor. I also like the KRaft anything marinades, low sugar great flavor and double as a dressing. I mix flavor olive oils and basalmic vinegar for great tastes. Stores like Williams sonoma or Teaoloi or other " Chef's stores" have great options.

    Love the jerk idea. MMMMMMM!

    I make a good marinade for chicken or lean pork chops.

    2 tbspn dijon mustard
    1 cup white wine
    1/2 onion sliced
    2-3 cloves garlic sliced
    2-3 springs rosemary
    cracked black pepper
    salt to taste

    throw it in a ziploc bag overnight and then grill, i like grilling onions to eat also but if not you can discard with the rosemary and left over marinade.

    Any oil based dressing, or combo of spices that you like with some olive oil and vinegar will work. Also, bbq sauce or any other sauce or juices (lemon lime and orange are great in the summer) that you like. Have fun with trial and error, taste the marinade before putting it on your chicken and add flavors as necessary.

    I now prefer making my own marinades and rubs so I can control the amount of sodium, but definitely went with store bought for a while and still do from time to time.

    For Americans, Grilling is on the charcoal or gas outdoor grill. Good reminder on the language differences!
