Getting back onto a somewhat healthy diet for work. Grabbed a Costco bag of chicken breasts, what should I season them with to keep me from getting bored? Grilling them.

Simple but excellent on chicken, cheap also. I used this tonight on some chicken thighs that I grilled.

I saw breast and clicked in.

Coat with olive oil. Minced garlic, salt, and pepper (lemon pepper or parsley from time to time). 350 for 5 min each side for pieces under 1" thick (12-14 min min total for 1"-1.5 thick).

Or sometimes, just good old Nature's Seasoning!

Italian salad dressing. I use Kraft but any will suffice. I simply marinade them in a bag with some dressing in the morning and grill them when i get home at the end of the day.

Marinate in lime juice with garlic powder,cayenne,allspice and adobo works for me.

I get the most complements with just salt and pepper.

Marinate them in light italian dressing, or goya Mojito, you can also ass a couple of squirts of balsamic to the dressing marinade to give it a little different flavor.

Whip cream or baby oil.

Wait, you said for chicken didnt you

Try some fajita seasoning. The Addams brand goes good on just about anything ( never tried on seafood)
eta; try using boneless thighs instead of breasts. The flavor is MUCH better and they dont dry out as much

For a typical all purpose chicken seasoning I like the following:
This is similar to store bought poultry seasoning but I like making it myself.

3 tablespoons dried crumbled sage
1 tablespoon dried crumbled thyme
1 tablespoon dried crumbled marjoram
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon cloves, powdered

use a meat hammer on it too, it'll make it even better

chicken needs to be brined.
Soak in brine of your choice at least 4 hours before cooking, longer if possible. Season with any of the above, but brining will keep it moist and add flavor

Buy bone in, skin on. You wont need any marinade.

Olive oil, salt, fresh cracked pepper.

On the rare occasion I do marinate, its the above plus fresh squeezed lemon juice, a crushed clove of garlic or 2, and some fresh rosemary from the garden

This is my favorite dry rub and I haven't found anything that it isn't good on.

4 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons fine ground coffee
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon turmeric

That's the one I like. A little heat, nice flavor, it's good stuff. Weber also has a Montreal chicken flavor that's really good, I think it's like a garlic/lemon type gig.

I've done whole bone in chicken breasts before just coating them with a little vegetable oil and dusting them with chili powder, which came out surprisingly good.

I'm kinda tired of it now since I grew up on it, my mom's Korean, but a little Asian twist is good from time to time. Sesame oil, soy sauce, some garlic, green onions, marinate for a bit and grill.

As others have mentioned, Italian Dressing.

I throw them in a bag with the dressing and black pepper and let them marinate. Put them in a baking dish with sliced red/yellow/green peppers and jalapenos. Bake. Serve with rice.
