Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

This past weekend was spent at the lake with the Mr.'s family.

We had a great time of hanging out, laughing, and sitting by the fire.

The 7 cousins played marathon air hockey . . .so much that my girl cherub's arm was sore!

With 4 families represented, we decided that each family would take one dinner for each of the days we were together and be responsible to provide the food for everybody.

Breakfast and lunch . . .each family brought what they wanted and just shared.

But dinner was a little more organized.

The Mr. and I had the Saturday night dinner.

We had big shoes to fill because my brother in law and sister in law did a shrimp boil for everyone on Friday night.

It was fantastic!

So Saturday afternoon, we set about our dinner preparation.

I did all of the prep work that could be done ahead of time at home so that cooking on Saturday night would be as easy as possible.

We had the roasted potatoes that I posted a few weeks ago.

Salad with the ranch dressing that I posted last week.

And this delicious chicken!

Holy Cow!  Seriously, who doesn't love grilled chicken?

Top it with caramelized onions, bacon, and cheese . . .and it's a real winner!

The marinade is super simple.

I pound the boneless, skinless chicken breast out thin and throw them into a ziplock bag to marinate.

I made this marinade on Thursday and threw the bags of chicken into the freezer.

The chicken marinates while freezing and continues when defrosting.

I grilled 24 pieces of chicken -- so I made a lot of marinade!

However, the marinade is SO easy because it's equal parts Dijon mustard and honey.

Yep!  That's it!

Sure!  You can add a dash of salt if you want.

But the basics are those two ingredients!

Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
1/2 tsp. salt

For 4-6 chicken breasts, combine the marinade ingredients together and place all of the contents into a ziplock bag.  Squish together to coat the chicken well.

Allow to marinate 4 or more hours in the refrigerator, or the freezer if it's going to be a few days before you cook the chicken.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on hot grill.  Continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.

If you wish:  top the chicken with grated Monterrey jack cheese, crumbled bacon, and caramelized onions.  But it's great by itself, of sliced on top of a salad, or put into a wrap.  The sky's the limit with the possibilities!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
