Recipes for this week

we are having a couple recipes this week that i don't think you have- they are both very yummy though- two of our favorites.


Teriyaki Grilled chicken

some chicken (i use whatever i think we will eat)
Marinate:
1/2 c soy sauce
5 green onions- chopped
1/4 c lime juice (or more b/c i love lime)
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp crushed dried red pepper
1 garlic clove, pressed


combine marinade and pour over chicken. let sit for 8 hours turn occasionally.

i don't have a grill here so i use my george foreman and it still turns out really well. after marinade is done drain chicken, reserving marinaade. bring reserved marinade to a boil in sauce pan, reserve for basting.

cook chicken w/o grill lid on over medium heat, basting often. i just put it on the foremann and let it cook till done. the marinade is really yummy- one of eric's favorite.
