Citrus Grilled Chicken

Monday Dinner

  • Citrus Grilled Chicken
  • Grilled Pineapple
  • Basmati Rice
  • Salad

1/2 C. Orange Juice
1/3 C. Vegetable Oil
2 Big Spoonfuls Orange Marmalade
1 Big Spoonful Soy Sauce
1 Big Spoonful Grated Ginger
Couple grinds Black Pepper

I mixed the above and marinated about a pound and a half of chicken tenders for about six hours. I grilled them six minutes per side.

I took large slices of fresh pineapple and threaded them on skewers. I brushed them lightly with olive oil and threw them on the grill when I turned the chicken. I turned once, so three minutes per side.

Served both over rice with a salad. Great way to christen our new patio furniture!

She doesn't call, she doesn't write

I suck at trying to keep up two blogs - get OVER IT!

That said...

Polenta

2 C. Chicken Stock
1 C. Milk
1/2 C. Polenta*
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil
Grated Parmesan

Bring stock and milk to a low boil. WHISK in polenta. DO NOT USE A SPOON. (*I find polenta in the baking section with the oats and corn meal.) Yes it will seem like too much liquid, just whisk for two minutes and it will thicken up.

Drizzle of oil, handful of cheese, salt and pepper to taste.

Whole thing takes five minutes, but it's tasty.
