Chicken & Rice

[Crit]

Eating chicken and rice every day is getting rough.
What are your best hacks or low-calorie sauces to make this daily staple actually taste good?

I’ll usually go for yellow rice and chicken for some extra flavor. G Hughes makes a sweet Thai Chili sauce that’s pretty damn good, put that on anything .

There’s some pretty tasty SF sauces out there. I’ve been using this sf Japanese bbq sauce for my chicken breasts. SF bbq by G. Hughes is good. And this hot salsa sauce I get from a Mexican restaurant near me

I was gonna say - copious amounts of salsa. Very tasty and damn near calorie free. I put it on the rice and the chicken to get it down. But lately, I’ve decided I like 90% lean ground beef way more than chicken and have switched it up. Much easier for me to digest as well.

My goto proteins for lunch are 4oz of 93/7 and about 200g of chicken breast and a cup of jasmine rice. I switch between bbq and salsas

Ground lean beef & ground turkey !

 

[Conmike41]

I end up throwing fresh lemon or lime juice on top

Or tobacco / crystal hot sauce

Fajita seasoning

Teriyaki sauce or soy sauce

Cuban “complete seasoning “ … sazon completa is also tasty and calorie free

Anybody try tossing chicken breasts in the crockpot all day? Game changer. Melts in the mouth. Easy to chew as it doesn’t require that much chewing. I find it easier to get it down. A little salsa or whatever really and you can get 16 oz down fairly quickly.

G Hughes all the way

G Hughes has some teriyaki and stir fry sauce that’s really good. Mixing one of them with ground beef rice and fried cabbage is great.

You know other meats and starchy carb sources exist, yeah?

 

[Swoleflaim011]

Chicken or beef broth to the white rice for a little extra flavor

Somebody has already said there’s other protein and carb sources. Man get a little creative. You can make healthy mashed potatoes. Put a little plain Greek yogurt and salt in them and a little skim milk. Use ground beef, ground turkey. Make Asian bowls or taco bowls. It’s endless. Unless you’re prepping for a show you don’t always have to eat plain food.

Well ignore my last post then, but why can’t you eat anything other than chicken and rice?

I've tried the teriyaki and stir fry. The G Hughes Honey Mustard is really good too. @OlePhart has some Wing sauce that I think is G.Hughes but I cant remember what its called.

I also have used the Blue Hog. The BBQ is pretty good.

@Crit we had a whole sauce thread a while back, gotta see if I can dig it up. I like to take chicken, rice, and mix it with Gordos Mile White queso. Good stuff.

@Crit alot of good information

Not a hot sauce but definitely worth mentioning. I recently discovered these D.Hughes sauces. Sugar free. I've tried two. Honey Mustard and Orignal. Both were really good. He has BBQ, wing sauces, dressings, marinade, and steak sauces. Check your local grocery.

Sorry for the brief thread high jacking, but wanted to mention these as sugar free options.

My go to recently has been making a simple pan sauce after making my protein. Sauté veggies of your choice using the pan fond and a bit of chicken broth. Simmer the sauce till it tightens and season to taste.

Both of these are good. They have a lot of different ones.

 

[Bullseye Forever]

Add some sausage links and brown rice and greens beans all mixed with hot sause is really good

 

[Big_Jimmy434]

I mix in some of this sometimes. Good stuff. Minimal macro impact.
