For me, one of the most frustrating things about starting the Low FODMAP diet was constantly testing new recipes. Trying three new meals a day can be really tiring. Especially if they don't all turn out the way you expect. I learned early on that it's way easier to pick one foolproof food and plan the rest of your meal around that. When I switched to this system, I started with this low FODMAP seasoned chicken breast and I did not look back.

I'm a huge fan of chicken. I love that I can make three chicken breasts at once and eat them in three very different meals. My current favourites include chopping one up and throwing it in a garden or summer salad; slicing it up and sticking it in a hearty sandwich; or leaving it whole for a heavier meal and switching up my sides.
Even though a salt and pepper chicken breast is fine in my books, I thought you might appreciate a basic chicken seasoning. This recipe is inspired by the grilled chicken at my favourite pub. I hope it gives you a little break from recipe testing, even if it's just until you get sick of chicken.

Keep It FODMAP Friendly
Because chicken is a protein, it doesn't have any FODMAPs. However, you still need to manage your portion size. Eating too much of any food can put stress on your digestive tract and cause symptoms, which is kind of counterproductive.
Whose Side Are You On?
If you eat a lot of chicken, switching your seasonings and your cooking style can do wonders! But, if you find yourself stuck in a chicken rut, the easiest way to shake up your meal is to change up your sides.
If you normally serve your chicken breast with a side salad, try swapping some key ingredients to change the flavour, colour, or texture. You can check out three easy salad ideas here if you need some inspiration.
If you've taken the classic meat and potatoes route, try a different seasoning on your potatoes, or try polenta instead of rice. You can also experiment with seasonal vegetables in your area for a local flare.
