How to make chicken breasts more flavorful yet not spicy?

[Anonymous]

Try a quick marinade:

soy sauce
water
honey
garlic
ginger
sesame oil (a little goes a ways!)
rice or red wine vinegar

Poke the chicken and let this sit for an hour (overnight is better, but an hour is fine).

But yes, the answer is generally that you want to put an oil and an acid on it to marinate. This breaks down the protein and keeps the chicken tender.

If you are too short of time, get bone in thighs. Even with only salt on top they are delicious.

I use chicken thighs for recipes and it turns out so much better.

If I am using chicken breasts, I’m slicing them to thin them out and marinating in soy sauce to add some richness. It doesn’t leave a soy sauce taste so you can use it with any type of recipe. I cannot eat just a big fat baked chicken breast.

Instead of just throwing them in the oven, start in a skillet and get a nice brown/sear, and then, if you have to, finish them off in the oven.

I was going to suggest brining, but if someone finds onion powder spicy Idk what would help...

No, I'm not saying it's spicy. I'm saying I want to add more flavor than I currently have, and telling you the spices I currently use, but without making it spicy because we don't like spicey or lemony food.

Brine before cooking.

Soak in Italian salad dressing

I use the spices you listed except no onion powder. I do add a mixture of green spices (oregano, green onions, whatever other greens that I have). I also add olive oil. Sometimes I add parmesan cheese.

I already coated but now see you also don’t want anything with lemon. This is getting limiting. Maybe just try mayonnaise, some breadcrumbs too perhaps.

I totally mis-read! I get what you mean now, I read this as "the people eating these find it too spicy" lol.

"The people eating these find pepper too hot/spicy"

My bad! I definitely know people like that lol.
