Dinner With What I Had

Well I went to the store to get stuff to stock up our cabinets (ie: cornbread mix, mac n cheese, can goods, etc) Well I forgot to look to see what I wanted to make for dinner before I went to the store so I could get some special ingredients if needed. Needless to say, this is what dinner consisted of (green beans, chicken, spices, and Kraft Blue Box):


This meal turned out pretty well :) It wasn't like I could mess it up or something. I was a bit nervous because I had never made a pouch out of aluminum foil to cook meat in and I have a hug texture thing with my food. Esp, chicken. If it doesn't even look right I refuse to eat it. J could say it tastes amazing and I still wont touch it. I put lemon pepper, a tad of garlic salt and some lemon zest in the pouch and cooked it on 375 for about 45mins. I also put a little bit of brown sugar in our green beans and it was overall a good meal. J approved.



And this was the final meal. Minus the Mac N Cheese, I don't like it to touch anything else lol.

Zesty Lime & Cilantro Chicken

Easiest chicken recipe you'll ever make. Ive wanted to make this over and over recently but our dear grill is broken :( We have tried this on our George Foreman grill we received as a wedding present and it does well. I would just recommend taking out the cilantro because it tends to burn and smoke up the kitchen. oops :)

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup of Lime Juice (fresh or you can use the little green bottle, I do.)
4-5 Medium Minced Garlic Cloves (Minced or pressed will work)
A good bit of FRESH Cilantro (Don't use dried!!)
2 Tablespoons Honey
[[sometimes I add a little lemon juice as well, helps keep the chicken tender]]

Directions:
You can marinade in a Ziploc bag or pan. The bag is easier when cleaning up. First take the honey and lime juice and mix together so the honey is Incorporated and not so thick. Then place into the container in which you have selected to marinate your chicken in. Add minced garlic and chopped cilantro. I usually poke a few holes in the chicken for max flavor results.

Let marinade for at least 20 mins, a hour or two would be best. Once marinated place on grill and cook away. Remember to keep your chicken from drying out cook on low/med heat slowly.
