    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"

    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.

    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.

    Pickle juice is Chik-Fil-A's secret.

    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!

    Piri Piri you can make as mild or spicy as you like. I find it spicy raw but it mellows when grilled.

    I know what you mean, LOL! I'm cooking for a family that doesn't eat much else but chicken, so I'm always looking for variations. I'm cycling somewhat away from buttermilk and yogurt-based marinades now that I'm grilling more than baking/broiling to more "clear" marinades, lots of citrus, etc.

    A little change-up to your lunch chicken (if you're eating it twice a day, I presume lunch and dinner) is to buzz the chicken into chicken salad in your food processor and combine it with all sorts of additional veggies and flavorings. Makes it seem "new" again ...

    Did a different-recipe chimichurri last week, very good. I'm on a "green goop" kick with grilling season underway now. Chimichurri, Italian salsa verde (parsley-based herb puree similar to chimichurri), Mexican salsa verde (tomatillo-based salsa), sofrito and gremolata (a lot like Italian salsa verde).

    This is a great thread, lots of ideas.

    I just made this one last night:

    Honey Citrus Marinade
    1/4 cup honey
    1/4 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup lemon juice
    1 Tbsp prepared mustard
    1 tsp curry powder

    After letting the chicken sit in the marinade for a couple hours, I just cooked it in the liquid and added broccoli, carrots and zucchini for the last few minutes. Served over rice. It was delicious! (I added sriracha to mine, but hubby doesn't like spicy).

    I also use whatever I have on hand for a quick marinade. The last little bit of salad dressing, vinegar, soy sauce, worcestershire, lemon juice and a bunch of spices. One of my favorites is lemon juice, olive oil and dill.

    Love to use dimitri's bloody mary mix. They have several different flavors. Then you can always add tomato juice, vodka, and the mix in a glass for a bloody mary with dinner.

    I use clubhouse Lime Sriracha spice blend, then after it's cooked I toss it in Guy's sugar free bbq sauce (spicy) it's 10 cals/30g and I dont' know how cause it doesn't taste like nasty Walden Farms etc lol

    Sometimes I use olive oil and worcester and random spice blends (montreal steak spice) You can pretty much put anything on chicken haha

    One more indian yummy marinade:

    1 cup plain yogurt
    5 garlic cloves, minced
    fresh ginger 1 inch, minced
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    2 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 teaspoon salt or as per taste
    3⁄4 teaspoon garam masala ( I would go for 1 tsp)
    1⁄2 teaspoon ground red pepper( I would prefer 2 tsp, I like it spicy)
    2 tsp lemon juice.

    Taste d marinade n adjust salt n spice before mixing to d chicken.

    Kp d chicken in dis marinade for 24 hrs in fridge, n u r good to go.

    And don't add oil in the marinade at all.. jus use chicken with skin on.. wen u bake it at 375 f, it will release oil, just take dat n pour it over d chicken while baking to kp it juicier.. bake it for 30 mins n broil on each side for 6 mins. u cud also use dat oil to make some curry on the side.
