My Husband Doesn't like Chicken...

Put a few chicken breast in the crock pot, season them with a little salt and pepper than I put two cans of diced tomatoes. They sell chipotle tomatoes at HEB that I like. They cook all day then I shred with a fork and we eat this in corn tortillas with whatever toppings you'd like. My kids even eat these tacos.

Nut Crusted Chicken

Super fast and easy. 10 mins prep, 10 mins bake, 10 mins tenting afterwards...then serve.

1/2 cup nuts of choice (we use almonds but macadamia or pecan would be awesome) - toasted under broiler until fragrant
2 Tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
3/4 tsp grated lemon or orange zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp dried rosemary
1 garlic clove
1/4 tsp salt
4 (4-5 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Preheat oven to 425. IN foodprocessor, place nuts, oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, garlic, salt. Process until coarsely chopped... it'll be like a thick paste.

Arrange chicken breast in baking dish. Divide nut paste and spread on breasts. pat down to cover each breast completely. Roast in oven until cooked thru, about 10 mins. Loosely tent with foil and let stand for 5-10 mins before serving.

Oh God.
This reminds me of a super nice guy I used to work with.
He was a very devoted husband and father, but ALL his wife cooked was chicken.
He wasn't crazy about chicken in the first place.
But, and no offense to his wife because she was lovely, there was joking that went on about what he would be having for dinner.
She had found a book about 365 ways to make chicken for dinner and she had used every single one and was on her second year of starting over from the beginning. She had never cooked a non-chicken thing for dinner in two years.

One thing that's easy that we do is marinate chicken in Italian salad dressing and then grill it or put it in the oven.
Soy sauce and brown sugar makes an excellent marinade as well.
Chicken, salad and a vegetable.

Chicken cooked with taco seasoning can be good cubed in a salad with tomato, avocodo and some grated cheese.

God help your husband if you find the 365 Days of Chicken book.

:)

Best wishes.

We eat a lot of chicken - yep, it's always on sale and, thankfully, one of my son's favs. But, we get bored with the same old flavors all the time. So we experiment and like following flavors - and, for your hubby, most will "mask" the taste of the chicken.

Jamaican Jerk - tonight's plan for on sale chicken legs :)
Curry
Chili
Anything Mexican

Good Luck
God Bless

I love chicken, and could eat it 7 days a week. But other things are nice too.

I use beef and chicken and other meats interchangably and most of the time it works ok, but occasionally it works wonderfully.

I have shrimp alfredo when I get a deal on shrimp, but I've had beef and chicken alfredo too. I like marinating the chicken breasts (cut in chunks) in terraki sauce for an hour or so and then cooking it in a frying pan until it is done. Then I cook my noodles, pour of the water add the alfredo sauce and chicken and serve. Some times I cook fresh sliced mushrooms with the chicken and add sliced green onions just after I pour off the water in the noodles. You are only limited by your imagination.

I have a chicken chili recipe I'll share that I've won several chili cook offs with, but it uses chicken leg quarters, not chicken breasts.
B.'s Smoked Chicken Chili

1 28 ounce of enchilada sauce (I used hot, red sauce)
1 15 oz can of refried beans
4 15 oz cans of chili flavored beans
4 pounds of chicken leg 1/4's (leg 1/4's work better than breasts)
2 tablespoons of chili powder
1 heaping teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/4 lb of fresh jalapenos. (canned won't work as well)

I used a 6 qt crock pot turned on high.
Smoke the chicken leg 1/4's. Place them in a pan, with 1/4" of water, on a BBQ grill with mesquite wood for smoke. Cook them over very low heat, until done. Put the chicken leg 1/4's and the water in a container in the frig over night. I put Canadian Chicken Seasoning on my chicken in the grill.

Put all the ingredients in the crock pot, including the water in the pan the chicken cooked in, except the jalapenos, and stir. 5 hours later, remove the leg 1/4's and place on a plate to cool. After the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the bones and place the meat back in the crock pot, then stir. Stirring breaks up the chunks of meat and makes it go through out the chili.

Cut the tops off the jalapenos. Cut them in half length wise. Use the round end of a spoon to scoop out the seeds and white part that holds the seeds. (The seeds and white membrane makes Jalapenos HOT.) Do the scraping under the water or with a fan blowing the fumes away from you. Dice the pods and add them to the chili 15 to 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!! (For thicker chili, remove 2 cups of sauce only from the pot when you remove the chicken to debone it.)

I sipped/drank the sauce I removed to make my chili thicker. It was HOT, but delicious.

Good luck to you and yours.

we are gluten free too and do a naked chicken cordon bleu or chicken kiev, we make chicken pot pie(crust made with bette hagemans french bread recipe), bbq shredded chicken, chicken parmesean made with a crust of glutino cheese crackers and parmesean cheese for crusting, chicken masala, gluten free chicken stir fry, ground chicken meatballs using cool ranch doritos as my crumbs(awesome on gf french bread made up with garlic butter and marinara and mozzarella cheese), red wine/mushroom chicken. I could go on. It took alot of risk taking and mistakes while cooking to learn what worked for our family and gluten free. There are many great blogs about gluten free cooking and even a crockpot website called crockpot 365 and most of her recipes are gluten free but all for the crockpot. Chicken nachos, chicken salad....

I buy a whole chicken, cut it up and marinate it in 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 3 TB of olive oil, 1 tsp pepper, 2 tsp salt. Then either grill it or broil it until done. You can serve it cold and it is just as good. My husband and kids all love it.
And it is EASY. Just be sure to marinate at least an hour. Longer is better. :)

I'm gluten free, also. One quick and easy chicken dish that I fall back on is baked wings. I place them in a glass casserole dish and pour olive or coconut oil over it. Not too much, just enough to keep it from drying. Maybe even a little orange juice. Salt and pepper to taste and whatever other spices you like. Bake covered. When it's pretty much done, uncover and put back in the over for a few. I like a little crunch on my tips.

I cooked some huge breast a few years ago for a dinner party. They were kinda "pepper-crusted". I placed them close together in a large metal pan and pour oil over them (not too much) and season with salt, basil, garlic, black pepper. I covered with foil and baked until just about done. Then, I uncovered and let the "crusting" occur. It was tender and yummy!

Look on allrecipes. They have a TON of chicken recipes. We like some of their lime garlic chicken or lemon chicken. I've crockpotted some too. There really are so many options. Try smashing your chicken before you cook it (I know that's not what it's called, but I seriously can't think of what it is called!). I'll pound each piece until it's very thin, and it really makes it yummier somehow. Look up "chicken breasts with lime sauce" on allrecipes. com and it's delicious! you might want to alter the butter/oil and some other things to make it healthier unless you use organic butter.

I think the key to keeping chicken interesting is lots of flavor (and spice if you can handle it!)
I love to make it with curry sauce, potatoes carrots and rice.
Anything Mexican: fajitas, enchiladas, tamale pie and tacos/burritos.
Asian stir fry with strong fresh flavors like ginger, garlic, soy sauce and fresh veggies.
Leftover grilled chicken breast is awesome in a chicken salad.
And of course there's always classic BBQ chicken with extra sauce, yum!

I lived in the summertime with my grandparents while growing up. One summer it was BOILED CHICKEN for -I swear- every single night for 2 months. I couldn't look a chicken in the face for YEARS. In fact, swore up and down I hated chicken (even lovely baked chicken tasted too much like the nasty boiled chicken for me to swallow it without gagging. And to this day sage NEVER goes on chicken. Period. And thyme only goes on if and only if it's in herbs de provence). Gradually, however, chicken started making it's way back into my diet.. but it MUST have character. AND I can only rarely eat breasts. Breasts just remind me of the Summer of Chicken Done Wrong. I can ONLY eat them cut in half and pounded a LOT. Thighs, otoh, are just so much more juicy and flavorful, and cost about half as much.

- Chicken Katsu (another breaded strip thing you may have done to death)

- Teriyaki Chicken (the trick is that it *needs* to be thighs, pounded just a little and cooked VERY hot...broiler or grill)

- Ground chicken canneloni, ravioli, and tortalini (there are tons of gluten free pastas up here...not sure about your area)

- Chicken Chile Verde Enchilandas (I cheat and use store bought salsa verde, but use this recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/chicken... )

- Chicken, broccoli, penne alfredo with chopped tomatoes (goat cheese/chev on top is fabu)

- California Chicken Burgers (slice breasts in half and then POUND out the breast using the textured side until the 1/2 is 1/2 the thickness...otherwise it's just a big gross breast on a bun)

- Chicken under a brick ( butterflied...esp w herbs de provence, and even better grilled)

- Chicken Chile (green, white, or red)

- Tandoori Chicken Tikka or Chicken Tikka Masala

- Turducken

- Chicken Marsala (it's an unorthodox marsala, and I use thighs instead of breasts the recipe calls for... but it's absolutely fantastic http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/chicken...)

- Stuffed Peppers

- BBQ chicken Quesadillas (tortilla, bbq sauce, cheese, chicken strips, tomatoes, onions, cilantro. Place tortillas on baking sheet, load up, place under broiler for about 60 seconds, fold in half, cut into triangles with pizza wheel)

I know this wasn't your specific question: Have you considered some vegetarian dishes because really, meat is meat and yes, chicken may have less cholesterol but it still digests the same way; rotting in your intestines.

chicken enchiladas are a favorite in my family. I usually buy a rotissere chicken and chop it up. Mix it with a handful of cheese, black beans, corn, grren chilis, jalepenos and a can of cream of chicken. Roll the mixture up in tortillas and line them up in a baking sheet. Then I mix some more of the chilis, milk and cream of chicken to make a sauce and pour it over top and bake for 1 hr and throw some extra cheese on top. Very good!

Grill the chicken and make chicken burgers.

This is my husband's absolutely favorite chicken recipe:

Preheat oven to 350
Sprinkle chicken breast with Mrs. Dash southwest seasoning (salt-free)
Brown both sides in a skillet with a bit of olive oil
Leave the chicken in the skillet & pour enchilda sauce over each breast (we've used green and red- mild, medium, hot - just whatever you like)
Top with cheese (we often use a four-cheese mexican blend)
Sprinle cilantro on top of that & bake for about 10-15 minutes.

Turns out incredibly juicy & insanely yummy!!

Okay, chicken is just about the most expensive meat out there unless you eat steak. I hate chicken too, and I really don't care for beef, like a steak. HB meat goes in stuff so it isn't like biting into a steak.

If he doesn't like it why make him suffer through something he doesn't like, that seems mean.

I warm up canned tomatoes with garlic then right at the end add avocado chunks and Spanish type spices. Ill mix it up with cumin chili powder cayenne paprike onion and garlic powder. Any combination of these is good. Then I add cooked chicken and serve over rice. I'm actually a chef and I have many items on my website if you want to look there and pm me with things that look good ill send you the recipes.

Mix your fave mustard with honey and spread it on the chicken, then cook. Yummy. You can also marinade chicken in your favorite dressings before cooking - cesear is very tasty.

I will often roast a chicken on Sundays and then make:
BBQ chicken sandwiches
Tacos
Enchiladas
Soup
Pot Pie
Chicken 'n Dumplings
Chicken 'n Rice
Something easy we do is cook chicken breasts on top of the stove (in maybe just a little olive oil). Once it's seared on both sides and almost cooked, put some peach preserves in with the chicken and let it finish cooking simmering with a lid on it. Sounds weird, but it's very good. Similarly we do pork with cranberries.
