Five Tips to Tastier Chicken:
1) Use Mrs. Dash to help give it some flavor. There are a ton of different flavors now available in your spices section of the grocery store.
2) Allowed Peanut Butter? Combine that table spoon with your chicken while you eat it. It’s almost like a peanut sauce on the bird.
3) Broil your chicken breasts. Cover a sheet pan in tin foil, place the chicken breasts on the pan and then use some I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray and spray it on the breasts. You can also put some Mrs. Dash or other spice on it. Then broil it. I broil on HIGH and it cooks fairly quickly. Flip it and spray butter on that side and put it back in to finish cooking. When I broil chicken and use the spray butter it stays juicy and doesn’t dry out.
4) Coat those puppies with some spice. I use ground red pepper and it helps give it some heat. I also combine it with a little black pepper. I’m not big on hot, super spicy foods but this helps give it some kick.
5) Add a piece or two of low-fat turkey bacon on top of the chicken breast. It may not be “real” bacon but it is a pretty close alternative.

Crushed red and black pepper is an excellent choice. A marinade of balsamic vinegar and olive oil is another…Marinade for at least a day before cooking for best results….

Ground up almonds, oregano, and a little parmesean make a GREAT alternative to bread crumbs.
