I agree to a point... You can season it with
other flavors, but you can't easily, naturally give a breast more chicken flavor without incorporating other chicken parts. Similarly, half of the outside factors that cause the dryness are outside the caterer's control -- which is what makes lean proteins in general so risky for airline use. The point isn't that it's impossible to make a chicken breast (or any lean protein) moist and flavorful inflight, it's just that when you're starting with a cut that's dryER and blandER, you already have two strikes against the success of the dish.
