I've passed the point of no return with chicken. If I never see another chicken breast, it'll be too soon. I was eating my dinner tonight and mid-bite it happened. I couldn't chew it another second and started to gag. No more bird for me.
What do you all eat for dinner that is chicken free?
I'm a big fan of other lean meats...pork tenderloins and center cut chops, extra super lean ground beef (I buy 4% fat), ground turkey breast, even very lean cuts of beef or smaller portions of higher-fat beef.
Now i"m attempting being veggie. I eat a lot of black bean based things. Black bean sloppy joes and black bean chili, naked burritos, or tofu, or zucchini, like zuchini lasagna, etc.
I personally can't stand chicken. That bird just rubs me the wrong way! I eat mostly vegetarian, but chicken is really the only thing I exclude (out of preference)
Lentils-can be made anyway you prepare meat. I stir fry everything-Eggplant and mushrooms are good additions for texture, but add the lentils and some quinoa for protien/iron, etc.
I love Amy's california burgers (soy free). Try an omelete or a fritata can be prepared in endless ways. Falafels are easy to make from scratch and you can make tons as they freeze well. I also love quesadilla's with avocado,tons of raw kale, (I throw some salmon in if I have it) tiny bit of cheese-enough so it sticks. Trader joes has awesome habanero lime tortilla's.
Soups/stews (although not so much in the summer)
My meats are on a seven day rotation because of food intolerances. I have chicken, cornish hen, turkey, beef, pork, buffalo and fish. I variety the cut of meat some weeks, grilled chicken breast, whole roasted chicken, roasted hen (because that's the only thing I know to do with it), baked chicken, turkey legs, ground turkey marinara with spaghetti squash, ground turkey with peppers and onions, ground turkey taco mix, baked turkey breast, beef steak stir-fry (my favorite meal), beef roast, steak, pork roast, grilled pork chops, buffalo roast, buffalo burgers w/carmalized onions, buffalo burger patties made with onions and black beans (taste like meatloaf), grilled fish, baked fish. If I don't have some variety, I'm not going to stick to my plan. I know some of my meals may have a higher fat contant than you are looking for, or compared to chicken, but it works for me. I'm still loosing weight on a regular basis and I don't get tired of my food.
