Most likely, you will have only 1 or 2 ingredients at hand unless you live with your grandma. Whatever option you pick, don’t worry about the ratio. Simply start with smaller amount, add more if you think it will taste good, and rely on your tongue.

All chicken breasts have a smooth and a rough side. Place boneless chicken on a piece of plastic wrap with smooth side facing up. Cover it with another layer of plastic wrap and tenderize it from the center approaching edges. Once done, go ahead and choose any of the flavor chart options for your marinade or dressing.

As cooking requires a fair amount of creativity, don’t be afraid to experiment, play, and invent. Your food discovery will very soon be awarded with your friends’ yummy’s and wow’s. However, if something goes wrong or needs a final touch minutes before you serve the table, here’s what can give you a helping hand to avoid hard-to-chew flavorless chicken.

  • If you need to add more salt use parmesan, soy sauce, or pickled veggies
  • If you need to add more sugar use honey, ketchup, or balsamic vinegar
  • If you need to add more sour use lemon, apple cider, and vinegars
  • If you need to add more bitter use beer, coffee, or grapefruit juice
  • If you need to add more spice use hot pepper, horseradish, or mustard

As a side dish to your marvelous juicy chicken meal use a scoop of rice, beans, noodles, or fresh vegetables sprinkled with your favorite spices. A glass of  rough wine or a cup of full-flavored coffee afterwards will immediately give you and your friends total satisfaction and a nice finishing touch to your meal.
