I’m so over Chicken Breast
I’m going on record right now and telling anyone who cares or is reading, that I’m so over chicken breast. I get it already! “It’s super healthy for you”, “Its packed with protein”,”if you want to lose weight its your best friend”.
But you know what else it is… boring! Its boring if you want to use it to lose weight. You can’t fry it. And adding cheese to it is a big no-no. Smoothering it in marinara sauce is also frowned upon, especially when you add some delicious spaghetti noodles with it. Yummmmmm spaghetti!
But I digress, back to chicken breast, you fiend! You ruined Sunday dinners for our family. What used to be a day for roast beef, and meatloaf,and homemade Salisbury steak slathered with gravy, is now just another day for grilled chicken with a lite seasoning on it. I mean at this point we’ve bought every single chicken seasoning packet and jar on the shelves and tried it. Those packets and jars, they take boring chicken and make it boring chicken that now my kids need to choke down with ketchup.
And trust me I’ve looked on Pinterest for good healthy chicken recipes until my eyes bleed, but its just a bunch of grilling chicken with new seasonings. Kids don’t want seasoning on their chicken, they want cheese on their chicken. And its not just the kids. I want cheese too. (Ohhhh cheese!!! How I love you!) Or they want to fry it and put some buffalo sauce on it, or roll it in bread crumbs, or throw it in with their pasta. Gosh I’m so hungry right now for some good chicken I could cry.
But you know whats in my oven cooking right now as I type…. its chicken breast. Boring chicken breast seasoned with some red flakes they called “kick it up” chicken seasoning that every single one of my kids will ask to dip in ketchup in twenty minutes. Which I’ll say yes to because deep down I really want to dip it in ketchup too!
