After some prodding and reviewing of my waistline, I have jumped back on the better eating bandwagon. Of course, better eating almost always means - grilled chicken.
When on a diet, you eat grilled chicken, chicken that has been grilled, charbroiled chicken, baked chicken, boiled chicken, chicken soup, grilled chicken salad, chicken fajitas, chic... Geez, I sound like Bubba in Forrest Gump...Lunch is my weak time when it comes to eating right. It is not that I eat a large meal, it just usually involves drive thru service of some type. This rarely lends itself to healthy eating. "Would you like to upsize that for just 39¢?"
Over the past few days, I have partaken (is that a word?) in several different chicken dishes. I am no culinary expert (I leave that to Robert St. John), but I do have some initial reactions to some of what I tasted... Here they are:
Saltgrass Steakhouse Grilled Chicken Breast: Excellent and quite filling too. Have a little Texas rice on the side and some unsweet tea (sorry, the sweet tea ended with the diet as well) and you are set.
Macaroni Grill Honey Balsamic Chicken: It was OK. I'm not "jumping out of my chair" as Simon Cowell would say. I would order it again.
Ruby Tuesday Hickory Chicken Burger: I made the mistake of ordering this to go. When I returned to the office, it was all over the place. Barbecue sauce, mayonnaise (yes I know how fattening that is - I'll leave it off next time) was all over everything. I ended up eating it with a fork. Taste was average.
Applebees Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad: This is one of my all-time favorites -- if the cook doesn't burn the chicken due to the lunch rush. "I didn't order this blackened."
Anyone else have any suggestions for new location for grilled chicken? I'd love to give them a try.
May the blog be with you.
