What seasons for chicken breast so it doesnt taste like sadness

[IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece]

Changing how I eat to lose some weight and chicken is featuring highly in my diet right now either with salad or rice and veg which I generally enjoy but it doesn’t taste as delicious at I would like and I’m clearly doing something wrong!

I need some low salt seasoning ideas that pack a punch taste wise

I like tarragon and black pepper with chicken, especially if you team it with mushrooms.

You need to marinate in yogurt.

Chuck your chicken breasts in a sandwich bag with Greek yogurt (natural or skyr works fine too) with a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper, a couple of teaspoons of cumin and oregano. Fork out and put into a pan when you are ready to cook- the longer the better but 30 mins makes a huge difference

No one should eat salt and pepper plain chicken

I'd marinade it in buttermilk (to make it juicy and tender) and one of those Schwarz mixed seasonings: garlic italian/cajun/japanese yakitori

I think it's best marinated with tarragon and a little white wine and then cooked on a griddle pan. The alcohol evaporates off so don't worry about calories.

Or in a salad in summer with grapes and black pepper.

Marking my spot for ideas as I too and doing a basic chicken/salmon and rice diet 🤣

Do you wrap the chicken breast in foil to keep it juicy?
Garam masala is quite a nice flavour with chicken and rice. The body coach does some healthy chicken dishes, do you have his recipe books?

I use Morrisons Chicken Seasoning, it's in a tiny pot with all the other herbs and spices. It's lovely.

You can get bags with a little packet of seasoning, you cook the chicken in the bag. Chicken stays juicy & the oven stays clean - win win!
They do lots of different flavours, will Google to see if I can find them

Cajun - just rub a little on. Add some peppers and spring I onion into the rice

Thread chicken onto a skewer and grill (makes it a bit more fancy) use sweet chilli sauce to flavour

Grill and add a bit of relish to the side (eg. Ballymaloe)

I also use peri peri salt but see you can't have salt.

These, you don’t need to add any fat as the chicken cooks in its own juice

Use all these suggestions but with chicken thigh instead of breast.

Check out jd seasonings website for slimming friendly options

Buy chicken thighs instead! Loads more tasty.

Maggi chicken papers are good to have in the cupboard for a quick chicken dinner when you don't want to think.
Tray bakes are good too (check out the Roasting Tin cook books)

I often use lemon juice, oregano, garlic purée and olive oil. Marinate in a sandwich bag for a few hours and then cook in the oven

Thank you!
Fab ideas, no more sad chicken!

I meant to say I used to use and LOVE the Maggi bags/papers but moved to a country that does not seem to appreciate the excellence of them!

Oh I miss Ballymaloe relish! So delicious on…many many many things inc a spoon

Marinate in lime juice, fresh coriander and olive oil, plus seasoning. For best results griddle for extra flavour.

I thin

Ras el hanout is amazing and easy to get from any supermarket.

Chicken always tastes of sadness 🐓
