After christmas, this is exactly the experiment I am embarking upon. The
wife will buy a chicken from a free range farm, and we'll see how it

enjoy chicken breast.

It will probably taste like -- chicken.

The pie idea is good though!

A pie would be a lot of work but it did remind me a chicken a la king. I
haven't had it in ages but iirc it was edible.

My goto for tasteless stuff like chicken, tilapia, or rockfish is a
generous dollop of Mae Ploy's curry paste, red, yellow, or green depending
on what's in the reefer and a can of coconut milk.

Yes.
It's the only way you can actually discover what your body will tolerate and what it will not. Cook for yourself, what you find you like -  and what likes you!
