So we have a bunch of food allergies and sensitivities in our house. I am sick of making the same 3 types of chicken and are looking for something different, and easy. Nothing too patchke. I also don't have a working food processor at the moment.
Our limitations are:
- No Red Dye (no duck sauce, no apricot preserves, etc)
- No MSG
- Nothing aged (soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, wine)
- No Sulfites, no Nitrates
- Paprika seems to be an issue
- No Tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, papaya, coconut, etc).
ETA: No ginger, curry, cumin, or anything too "Spicy"
In general my DH and kids like "sweet" chicken, I like savory.
Please help!

Pineapple (in its own juice) makes a sweet taste. I like it with green peppers, and maybe a bit of honey and cinnamon?

Sorry missed that line...what fruits are in? I would just cook down a sweet type fruit and cook it down (it really won't take that long...cut up small, add a BIT of water, maybe honey? Don't tell me...cinnamon and maybe a bit of ginger...then use the sauce on the chicken. NOT good for this week I suspect.

Ginger is also a problem.
I *could* do apple and onion chicken. That's an idea.

can you do salad dressing or ketchup/mayo and breadcrumbs?
Dip the chicken or cultet into salad dressing (I use honey mustard, or russian but any works) then bread crumbs or matzo meal , spray the pan before with Pam .

most bottled dressings have MSG or another glutamate. I'm getting sick of bread crumbs - my main 3 chickens are:
garlic/paprika
savory breaded chicken
BBQ chicken

Italian chicken is delicious
• chicken bottoms, thighs and legs separated OR 1 chicken, cut into 8ths
• 1 small yellow squash, cut into half moons or large dice
• 1 small zucchini, cut into half moons or large dice
• 1/2 container grape tomatoes
• 4 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• 1/2 tsp basil
• salt to taste
Arrange chicken pieces in a 10 x 14 pan. Sprinkle with vegetables (I like to put them on the sides of the chicken so that the tops get totally brown.)
Combine lemon juice, oil, garlic, dry mustard, basil and salt to taste in a container. Cover and shake well.
Pour over chicken and vegetables.
Bake uncovered at 350 for 2 hours (or in a time pinch, at 375 for 1 and a half hours.)

Mustard Poppy Chicken from Chocolate Moose
chicken pieces
mustard
lemon juice
brown sugar (Domino makes pour-able lite brown sugar, which is great for sprinkling in this recipe)
poppy seeds
Arrange chicken pieces in a pan. Skirt some mustard on each piece of chicken, and smear evenly.
Drizzle some lemon juice on top. Sprinkle very generously with brown sugar.
Bake.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds. (You may want to drizzle some pan juices on chicken first so that poppy seeds stick better.)

From about.com
Ingredients:
•4 pounds (2 kilograms) chicken pieces
•2-4 Tbsp. canola oil or 1/4 cup melted margarine
•1/2 cup honey
•1/4 cup mustard
•1 tsp. curry (I use cumin instead)
•1 clove garlic, minced
•1 tsp. salt
Preparation:
1. In a small bowl, mix together melted margarine, honey, mustard, curry, garlic and salt.
2. In a shallow baking pan, place chicken pieces skin-side down. Pour dressing over the chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
4. Place chicken in oven, covered, for 30 minutes.
5. Uncover the chicken and turn skin-side up. Baste.
6. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for an hour or until cooked through and browned. Baste once or twice during the hour.
Also -- most preserves I buy are only fruit, sugar, maybe lemon juice -- but no dye! Check a different brand!

aidel, can you use ketchup? Heinz ketchup has: Tomato Concentrate from Red Ripe Tomatoes, Distilled Vinegar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Salt, Spice, Onion Powder, Natural Flavoring.
I have recipes for sesame chicken, cranberry chicken
how about apricot preserves? The Polaner apricot preserves has: Apricots, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Sugar, Citric Acid, Pectin and Potassium Citrate.

I like plain broiled- no spices or anything, put in broiler, 20 minutes on each side.
can you do onion chicken? make a mix of sliced onions and oil and spices-whichever you can use, put some on bottom of chiicken, some spices on the chicken and the rest of the onions on top. cover and bake

Ketchup is fine, so is mayo and mustard.
Apricot preserves are off the table because they are preserved with sulfites (dd has an epipen for sulfites).
