Grilled Chicken with a Twist of Lime

Barbecue Tuesday!

Fire up the grill.  We're having Lime Grilled Chicken for supper tonight!  Super simple and extra tasty. 

All you need are 4 limes, 4 chicken thighs, 4 chicken legs, 1/4 red pepper and 1/2 of your favorite barbecue sauce.  One of my favorites is KCMasterpiece and they have great recipes online too.  

Zest one of the limes and juice all of the limes.  In a resealable plastic bag, place the chicken, zest, lime juice and red pepper flakes, seal and marinate in the refrigerator for one hour.  

Preheat the grill.  Grill the chicken pieces for ten minutes on each side.  Brush the chicken with barbecue sauce and continue to cook until the chicken juice runs clear.  

Serve it up with your favorite side and salad.  What's your favorite side dish?

Grill Your Complete Dinner in Foil Pockets

Grilled Parmesan Ranch Chicken

Reynolds Wrap & Reynolds Wrap Packets for the Grill

Make this Parmesan Ranch Chicken for dinner tonight and the best part is you can put it together in the morning and keep in the fridge until you are ready to grill it tonight.  

This meal is so simple to make and an awesome time saver.  Anything meal you can prepare ahead of time gets my vote!  

Simple Ingredients

Simple Preparation

WIN-WIN!

Heat up the grill and prepare as follows:

For 4 servings

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, 1/4 cup water, 2 cups quartered small red potatoes, 1 cup baby carrots cut in half lengthwise, 1/4 lb. trimmed fresh green beans, 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Spray your sheets or packets of foil with cooking spray.  Sprinkle the chicken breasts evenly with garlic salt.  Drizzle 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing over each chicken breast.  

In a bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup dressing and the water.  Stir in the potatoes, carrots and green beans.  Place the vegetable mixture among the chicken breasts packets and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  

Fold up the sides of the foil to meet and seal tight.  Easiest way is to bring 2 sides up and seal and bring other two side up and fold again.   Allow space for expansion while cooking.  

Place the foil packets on the grill over a medium heat and cover the grill.  Cook for 10-15 minutes,  rotate slightly on the grill and cook for another 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.  

When you remove from the grill to serve, slice the top carefully with a knife to release the hot steam to escape.  

I love using reynoldskitchens for great recipe ideas.  Try out their new Reynolds Wrap made for use while grilling.  The non stick surface is easy to cook with and the packets are perfect for recipes like this.  

I love Grill Tuesday!  Thanks for stopping.

                                               Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup  
                                                      

Today's "Soup Tuesday" recipe features a recipe that's so easy and quick and let's face it!  Through the Holiday season, we all need some shortcuts with our busy schedules.  This literally takes 5 minutes to put together in your crockpot or slow cooker and cooks 8-9 hours on LOW and 4-5 hours on HIGH.
Makes 12 servings... here goes!

Ingredients:

3-4 chicken breasts skinless and boneless
2 - 15 ounce cans black beans, undrained
2 - 15 ounce cans Mexican stewed tomatoes
1 cup salsa
4 ounce can chopped green chilies
1 - 4.5 ounce can tomato sauce

Directions:

Spray your crockpot with non stick spray.  Place rinsed chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. (Can use frozen chicken breasts).  Add remaining ingredients on top and turn your crockpot to low for 8-9 hours of cooking or high for 4-5 hours.  Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top if you desire and ENJOY!  Try serving with hot rolls or cornbread.  Ever make honey butter to serve on hot rolls or cornbread?  Soften a stick of butter in a small dish and add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of honey and blend.
