great ideas, thanks2 -
Piri Piri you can make as mild or spicy as you like. I find it spicy raw but it mellows when grilled.

Worcestershire, brown sugar, soy, spices, vegetable oil. Super flavorful!3

thanks both x0

I do a dry rub with salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin. In the last 5 ish minutes of cooking I take the same mixture, add a bit of water, and brush it over the chicken and let it finish cooking that last little bit. 0 cal, but like 10 lbs of sodium so watch out for that.3

One of my favorites is Lowrey's Chili Lime. Should be available at most big box stores, Wal-Mart, etc. It's just spicy enough to be good, won't hurt you.0

Try Allegro- AKA "Clown Juice". No idea why there is a clown on the Original bottle, but the stuff is awesome. I have tried Original, Teriyaki, & Hickory Smoked. All were good. I want to try the Hot & Spicy next. The good thing is that you don't even need to marinate your meat for that long to get good flavor if you're in a time crunch. I've tried it on steak and chicken. Also, John Henry brand rubs are awesome. My favorites right now are the Pecan rub & the Honey Rib Rub (which I use on chicken too).

lemon juice, olive oil, & rosemary (and S&P)
soy sauce (or teriyaki or ponzu), sesame oil/vegetable oil, 5-spice, and S & P.0 -
Per 2 lbs chicken breast @ 1-1.5" thickness: 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp molasses, 1/2 jalapeno (with or without seeds), 3/4 c cilantro, 3 cloves garlic, 1.5 tbsp salt, 1.5 tbsp pepper. Marinate at least 4 hours, but I've let it sit for a whole day at most. Grill/bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until internal temp of 160-165. Serve over asparagus with a side of avocado.1

I love to do a souvlaki marinade on chicken breasts -- I love the intense flavours! Olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, lemon juice and dried oregano -- let the chicken breasts marinate in it for a while then broil or bake (my fave is to bake in a convection oven
) 2 -
thanks everyone, there are alot of ideas there for me try.
I did do one last night, i thought it smelt vile though so let the husband try it for dinner.
tbh it did smell nicer once cooking and he said it was nice.
he is also still alive so thats a good thing lol1 -

If I'm pinched for time, I often just use bottled Italian dressing. Makes the chicken moist and flavorful.1

Penzey's chipotle chile powder is so delicious I put on almost everything.

The other night I marinated chicken breast with honey, lime juice, chipolte powder, oil and vinegar, then grilled them. We made southwest chicken salads with corn and black beans. They were yummy!3 -

Sounds crazy but this makes the BEST chicken. I made it up one day when I was out of traditional marinade and now I make it every week. I don't measure anything, ever, so bare with me.
Kitchen Sink Chicken Marinade: (throw it all in the food processor)
1 sm/med onion (I had yellow on hand)
Jalapeno (to taste....I use about a half with seeds and ribs)
A garlic clove or two
About a quarter cup of italian dressing
About a third of a cup of whatever briney juice you have on hand. (I've used pepperoncini and pickle juice, you could also use any kind of citrus)
A few splashes of Wostershire Sauce
A few squirts of dijon mustard
A healthy pinch each of salt and pepper
Give it a good whirl in the food processor, throw it in a large ziploc and let it sit in the fridge 24-48 hours. The longer the better. Grill it up.

This baked chicken with artichokes and tomatoes is more like a marinade that you bake the chicken in, but it is very yummy and could not be easier to make. I have made it several times now and I always marvel at how good it tastes for how simple it is. I usually serve it with quinoa.

I think the husband is getting board of chicken, iv tried about 8 different ones on him so far
Im getting bored of hearing the smae "yer, its alright " reply when i ask what he thinks lol0 -
For lunch today I had marinated chicken breast in buttermilk+ olive oil + fresh herbs and salt. It's simple and was tasty
But the thing is no matter how many different recipes I try, eating chicken breast continuesly twice everyday makes me feel exactly like your husband "just alright"0 -
1/4 cup vodka or tequila
1/4 evoo
Big pinch salt and pepper
Zest and juice of 2 limes
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Dumb chicken and everything above including to zested and juiced halfs of fruit into gallon bag.
Toss around to coat everything
Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Not longer, acids will start to cook the meat and it will be weird.
Remove from marinade, Dry off chicken and cook in your preferred manner.

I tried this recipe today and I knew I had to come back here to post it, it was delicious.
It's an Indian ( NOT spicy ) recipe but I will try my best to list down the ingredients with substitutes :
→ Chicken 400 - 500 Grams.
→ fresh mint leaves 1 Cup.
→ fresh Coriander (also known as cilantro) leaves 1/2 Cup.
→ Ginger Garlic Paste 1 1/2 Tablespoons.
→ Curd ( yogurt ) 2 Tablespoons.
→ Onion 2 medium
→ 2-3 Green Chilies .
→ Salt To Taste.
→ Butter 100 Grams or 4 tablespoon olive oil
→ Red Chili powder 1 Teaspoon ( or you can add 3/4 tsp paprika )
→ Coriander powder 1 Teaspoon ( optional )
→ Turmeric Powder 1/2 Teaspoons ( optional )
→ Cloves, Cardamom & Cinnamon Sticks 2 Numbers
Mix all the ingredients except clove, cardamom, cinnamon, olive oil and chicken in a mixer/ grinder jar and make it into a thick paste.
Now marinate the chicken in this paste. Leave it for 4-5 hours.
Heat a thick bottom pan and then put butter or olive oil ( I used olive oil)
add the cloves, cardamom and cinnamon. Sauté for two or three minutes
Now add the marinated chicken in it, also add the left over marination. Cook over low to medium flames till cooked according to preference.0 -
We like it brined in pickle juice. So good and easy.
After marinating for about 8 hours, you can bread with panko bread crumbs that have dried dill, salt and pepper mixed in and bake. Really good, but I like it just baked or grilled without the breading too.1 -
Ever tried chimichurri on Chicken?
1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more

1 Fresno chile or red jalapeño, finely chopped
2 cups minced fresh cilantro (substitute parsley if you are not a cilantro fan)
1 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh oregano (basil works also)
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil0 -

Ooooh, this sounds really good. I have a jar of pickle juice in the fridge that I was going to use for popsicles, but I'm-a do this instead!0 -
