Food and Drink Chicken eaters... - Page 5

I'm trying to eat more of the original white meat, but could use some ideas.

So tell me how you spruce up chicken breasts. How do you prepare them so they're still moist? Do you use the whole breast or butterfly? Do you pound them thin? What do you to do add flavor to a generally mild and unexciting protein?

Tell me what you got.

I also have a couple of good recipes that use cream based sauces, but that kind of circumvents the health benefits of eating chicken.

Pretty sure you wouldn't do it, but wife uses this. I know you would probably want to make it yourself, but this tastes pretty good on the grill. Takes 20 minutes to cook. Pretty goddamned good.

On second thought, you probably can't have it on the renal diet, but maybe you could grill it up for the wife.

I don't cook in detail like you guys do, but this is nice 'bulk' food. I've been off red meat for about 9 years now.

You have not had a T Bone steak for 9 years .... OMG .... sorry.

Well... Nobody's perfect. Relapses happen. But it's a grand occasion when I do. Usually at a nicer restaurant, accompanied by a nice red wine. Matrix style.

Not for me. I use organic half n' half or cream.

I am not anti-fat (unless I need to save calories) for heart health.

I find when I haven't eaten red meat in a long time, then have it I get terrible pains in my stomach until I am used to it again. Especially, after I've been doing a vegetarian/vegan kick.

Yea. It tends to go right through after a while. Still tastes good though!

And I'm still a sucker for a dive bar cheeseburger from time to time. But overall, it's chicken and fish for eDave.

Damn. Just remembered pork chops. Yum.

Prolly not the thread to go into this .. but F it .... I "think" I understand the no beef ------- NOPE ... sorry I do NOT. Chicken is way more healthy ... but Beef tastes WAY better ... so even if your plan is health ... WHY O WHY O WHY completely cut out Beef ... FOREVER?
Can you NEVER have to make you feel better? Because I'm pretty sure 2x won't kill ya.

I'm sure there are health and other religious reasons ..... but my GOD ... I no comprende'

I don't think chicken is way more healthy than chicken. They both have benefits and variety of foods is the best way to stay healthy.

You ever had an enema? Blew my mind how much shit was caked onto my bowels. Red meat man.

The older I get, the less I like red meat. And eggs. I still make a shit ton of it, but I could probably do without either for the rest of my life.

Not me. I could eat beef every day if I could afford it.
