You REALLY can make your own marinades in seconds.
Try a simple marinade for chicken of:
soy sauce (a few tablespoons)
Lemon juice (a teaspoon or two)
dash worchestershire sauce (optional)
A couple teaspoons brown sugar
Optional garlic (or garlic powder)
Optional minced dried onion (or onion powder)
Optional minced ginger (or powdered)

Marinate for 30 or more (overnight even) and grill or cook in non stick pan.

For rice, you can bump up the flavour in oh so many ways.
You can throw in a small package of Lipton's Onion Soup into the pot while you're making it, or chicken broth instead of water, veggy broth instead of water,.

Check out the recipe board.
I have a microwave onion rice recipe that takes literally seconds to make and is totally yummy. Plus it makes a big batch - one that will last several days.
There's also a teriyaki marinade I make myself that is very flexible for whatever ingredients you have on hand.
