Grilled Asian Chicken Breast

-
 
Grilled chicken is a favorite at our house and today was a sunny and beautiful Spring day so I thought why not try out something I've been rolling around in my mind?
 
The flavors worked well together and the kids and Lin gave it a thumbs up :). I made extra for yummy salads for lunches tomorrow.
 
3 cups Juice from Freshly
Juiced Blood Oranges
1 cup Orange Blossom Honey
1/3 cup White Balsamic Vinegar
1/3 cup Olive Oil
3 Garlic Cloves
3 inches Fresh Ginger Root
2 Tablespoons Lite Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons McCormick
Perfect Pinch Asian Seasoning
12-14 Chicken Breasts, trimmed
 
I used my juicer for the oranges, garlic cloves, and ginger.
Add the rest of the ingredients and pour over tenderized chicken breasts in a gallon or 2 gallon sized Ziploc bag. Refrigerate until about half an hour before putting them on the grill. Let them come to room temp before grilling.
 
Use the tenderizing method you like best. I'm not much of a 'pounder' for this, I prefer the less messy thing of poking /cutting holes across the grain in the top and a slit in the thickest part on the bottom. Works for me.
 
Grill till juices begin to run clear. Remove from the grill and place in a tightly covered pan and allow to finish by steaming.
 
Enjoy!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
