Hi Everyone,

I'm new here to 3 Fat Chicks (what a god-send to have found!). I've been on IP for 6 weeks now. I'm doing well sticking to the program, and have found which vegetables/IP products that I like best.

My problem is meat. More than anything else, I crave flavor. I'm bored to tears with plain old chicken breasts, etc.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some IP friendly marinade/recipes/techniques?

Thanks very much!

Tonight I'm making Chicken Souvlaki for the family.

Marinate 1 -1.5 lb cubed chicken overnight in a mixture of:
2 Tblsp dried Oregano
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 c olive oil
salt and pepper to taste.

Then just skewer it (or lay it out in a single layer on a baking sheet) and either bake or bbq.

Molly these are great!! Thanks for sharing! I also am getting sick of chicken breasts.

My husband HATES chicken lol but I have found a few he loves, this one that I posted on my blog you can make spicy by adding more hot sauce. Posting a new one today that he LOVED too!

Have you tried any of the Walden Farms products?
I think they are pretty nasty on their own, but they make good marinades. I like the WF Caesar mixed with lemon juice to marinade chicken. I also like the Balsamic Vinaigrette on pork chops.
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much everyone! Those are EXACTLY what I needed, and I'm heading to the grocery store now!

YAY!

Check out the Andover diet center website. It has tons of IP phase 1 friendly recipes for chicken, pork, beef, fish, shellfish, and veggies. There are pictures of each recipe too.

Hi, I'm a newbie and I'm confused. I thought we couldn't have worcestershire sauce due to the sugar in it? I also looked at my soy sauce and it has sugar in it, won't using these kick us out of ketosis? The sheet also says no red wine vinegar.
Totally confused
