    Pork loin.

    Also, marinades for chicken can make it taste very,very different from meal to meal.

    Any fish, red meat, or poultry will give you high protein content.

    Turkey, pork, tuna, other fish (no knowledge on fish.)

    Ball Park makes a fat-free turkey hot dog. It's 40 or 45 calories. It's not the greatest thing, but it contributes to variety.

    Eggs and cottage cheese have protein, too.

    I like ground turkey with homemade taco seasoning!! Very good. Put it on lettuce with 2 ounces of chunk cheese and it is good.

    I'm sick of chicken, too. And fish. Nothing wrong with some meatless days or weeks. There are lots of plant protein sources, and dairy.

    I very rarely eat chicken, unless thighs go on sale for less than 99clb. Beef, turkey & venison fit into my calories just fine. Canned tuna. Salmon if I'm feeling posh.

    food - is there a requirement to eat chicken?
    millions of people in this world don't eat chicken and seem to survive just fine.
    you can eat vegetables, fruits, grains, other protein sources, dairy etc. Pretty much any of the 8 million food items on this planet besides chicken.

    If you're in it for the protein and chicken has 35g here's a link on what else has 35g of protein with pics! http://tribesports.com/blog/35g-of-protein-in-different-food-sources

    I like turkey, sometimes cornish game hens, sometimes red meat, venison, buffalo i like haddock have tried a bunch of different fish but I think I'm just a plain old fish lover of haddock or if we catch a brook trout if we go fishing. Also legumes - all different kinds have protein. Tofu but not like uncooked tofu I dislike that, I like firm consistency tofu and it can be prepared in different ways. I don't eat pork.

    Wow, I saw the title and read it as, "sick of children" lmao

    Now that I know it's chicken, I will say I really like turkey.

    I am looking for an easy replacement.

    fish, pork loin, lean steak, turkey. Basicly any lean meat will do. Try out new recipes often. This way you wont get bored.

    Looking back through my food diary to see what I've eaten in the past few weeks for protein, other than chicken:

    -Tofu (this recipe - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/412629/ginger-sweet-tofu-with-pak-choi )
    -Venison (reduced to clear leg steaks - £2.50 for a pack of 2 instead of £6!)
    -Eggs (this recipe http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1263668/turkish-onepan-eggs-and-peppers-menemen)
    -Fish (plaice - grilled)
    -Beef steak, trimmed of fat, stir fried with veg and noodles
    -Lean beef meatballs
    -Salmon
    -Lentils (just put half a tin in a bowl with some leftover ratatouille to microwave for lunch at work)
    -Lamb mince, made into kebabs/meatballs
    -Beans (in vegetarian enchilladas)
    -Soya beans (in thai green veggie curry)
    -Tofu (in tofu and asparagus pad thai - this recipe http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1262640/tofu-and-asparagus-pad-thai )
    -Lamb rump (roast in bag)
    -Prawns and scallops (topping a lemon and pea risotto)
    -Fish (cod - marinated in chermoula and cooked in a tagine with carrots, celery, tomatoes, preserved lemons)
    -Sausagemeat (dry fried and drained of as much fat as possible, used to make a pasta sauce with grated carrots and tinned tomatoes)

    I suppose this makes me sound like I have lots of money to spend on food, but I buy virtually all meat and fish when it's reduced to clear (on its use-by date) when it's half price or less. I then plan all my meals around what I have in the freezer. I rarely buy full price meat (except chicken as it's so popular it's rarely available reduced to clear) and if I don't have anything suitable in the freezer I'll do a vegetarian meal with beans or lentils or whatever.
