Sadly the wife cooks chicken for lunch, and in my case it is "take it or
leave it", so I'll reluctantly take it.

 At one point boneless, skinless chicken breasts were inexpensive clean
protein. I ate enough of them that they now trigger sort of a gag reflex.
Every few months I'll get a CostCo rotisserie chicken but even then I'd as
soon feed the breast meat to the cat.
 

 I feel your pain and I am in the same situation! =( There is nothing in terms of meat, that I like less than chicken breast. Dry, rubbery and sticks in my throat. Yuck!
 Chicken thighs and chicken wings I can still eat though, as long as they come with a good sauce and are crispy on the outside.
 Oh, and chicken breast I can eat if it is shredded to tiny pieces in a chicken soup. Then it works!

Well pie it with bacon mushroom and a white wine white sauce. Or curry the bugger.
Or buy a chicken from someone who keeps them around the back yard eating worms and stuff. THEY have taste

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 compares. My bet is it will be better, but not good enough to get me to enjoy chicken breast.
The pie idea is good though!
