Key West Chicken

Key West Chicken

PREP TIME: 15 Min
COOK TIME: 15 Min
READY IN: 1 Hr

Ingredients

3 Tbs Soy Sauce
1 Tbs Vegetable Oil
1 Tbs Honey
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp chopped garlic
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

1. In a shallow container, mix soy sauce, vegetable oil, honey, lime juice and garlic. Add chicken breasts to the mixture, and turn to coat. Cover and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes

2. Preheat outdoor grill to high heat

3. Lightly oil grill grate, discard marinade, grill chicken on each side for 6-8 minutes

Mmmm...this is such good chicken. The flavors blend together nicely and it tastes like summer (I know how lame that sounds). We've tried this recipe grilled outside, grilled inside on the Foreman, and baked in a conventional oven. It was great each way, but I think just about everything tastes better grilled. Also, even though it says to marinade for at least half an hour, I've never let it sit for less than 3. Not sure if half an hour is long enough to get the flavors to mix well.

Baked Pesto Chicken

This recipe is super easy and fast to make! I serve this with pasta (with butter and parmesan)

Taco Soup from a can

Ok, this is the easiest recipe. The soup is decent, not amazing, but it can pass for a pretty decent meal. And sometimes when I am really lazy or there is nothing in the fridge, I leave out the cheese, and chips and optional extras. It's the perfect recipe for food storage too, since it's all cans.

So are you ready?

1 can Stewed Tomatoes (the mexican kind is good, or regular, but don't get italian-that's just weird)
1 can Yellow Corn
1 can Black Beans
1 can Kidney Beans
1 can Green Beans (Just the regular cut kind)
Taco Seasoning (I usually use half the packet, to cut down on sodium)
Shredded cheese
Tortilla Chips

Optional:
Sour Cream
Guacamole
Browned Beef

So open all the cans and dump them into a big pot. Yes, even the juices from the cans. Then I cut up the stewed tomatoes a bit. Turn the heat on medium or medium-high. Add your taco seasoning and beef (optional). It should be warm in about 8 minutes. Pull the pot off the stove and serve into bowls. Top with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream and guacamole.

So easy...open cans, pour them in a pot.

Sante Fe Wraps by Kraft

Prep Time: 20 min
Total Time: 20 min
Makes: 4 servings, two wraps each

Ingredients:
4 cups torn romaine lettuce
1 pkg. (6 oz.) OSCAR MAYER Southwestern Seasoned or Grilled Chicken Breast Strips
1 large tomato, chopped
1 can (11 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Shredded Cheese
1/4 cup KRAFT Ranch Dressing
1/4 cup TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Thick 'N Chunky Salsa
8 flour tortillas (6 inch)

Cook chicken, mix everything together, roll up in tortillas and eat.

My notes:
1. Just used a normal chicken breast.
2. Used whole wheat tortillas.
3. Could have left out the ranch and would have tasted just as good, but a little healthier.
4. Had enough mixture to make more than 4 tortillas worth.
