Cheap, Healthy and TASTY chicken marinades?

[andrewT]

I just picked up a marinade from Loblaw's Natural stuff section called "Thai Peanut". Haven't used it yet, next to no calories, smells delish but it was about 7 bucks for a bottle the size of a Frank's Red Hot.

Anyone know any cheap, tasty chicken marinades that aren't full of garbage cals?

ginger, garlic, soya sauce

whir that up in a blender then pack the chicken breast tight in gladware and pour on top. Flip the gladware over every few hours until the next day. BBQ

This is from bodybuildingcookbook.com cch posted a link to. My wife and I made it last night & it's delicious. Def be making this alot. Healthy but likely not contest prep stuff:

Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 20 Min
Total Time: 35 Min
Serves: 4
Get Prepared
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 eggs slightly beaten
• 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
Get Cookin’
1. Preheat your oven to a sizzling 400º F – almost as hot as the ladies who’ll be lining up to get a shot of you shirtless this summer.
2. Stir together salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl.
3. Sprinkle seasoning over chicken pieces. Dip pieces in egg, and then immerse in bread crumbs.
4. Place aluminum foil on a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan. If the idea of owning a ‘jelly roll pan’ sounds too sissy for you, any pan will do.
5. Arrange chicken pieces in a single layer on the pan.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, turning once. Go ahead and flex those lats while you wait.
7. Over medium-low heat, stir together sugar, lemon juice, and curry powder in a sauce pan. Stir for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves.
8. Drizzle lemon sauce over chicken, return to oven, and bake 5 minutes more

Marinate in fat free italian salad dressing and soya sauce then BBQ.
Cheap and rediculously good!
We only do this off season, not because it's too many cal's but because it's so good we always eat too much! lol

Me and DK found a great way to marinade our chicken and steak precontest but with 0 cals, 0 evrything. At the Walmarts in our areas they sell a salad dress/marinade called 3 gyros brand and they make flavours such as italian, mediterranen, and rasberry vinagrette. So we poke holes in the chicken and let it soak in this sauce then we cook it up. very easy and cal free perfect for dieting.

sprinkle with mrs.dash extra spicy, then marinade in franks buffalo sauce and bake half way through add more buffalo sauce my favourite for chicken right now

i made my own today, and it was very good:
mix up some tomato puree with vinegar and water, put in your favourtie spices (for example garlic, pepper, chilli, salt, paprica ...)
then put in your meat for 30-60min. after that you can fry it or grill it, it gets very delicate

I was just gonna make a thread about this. I usually just grill a chicken breast and throw it in a container with plain brown rice. This gets extremely boring and I feel like a barn animal eating the same thing every day.

I also find rice too dry by itself so I'm liking the recipes for homemade sauces and marinades.

Keep 'em comin!
