Another easy dinner with simple grilled chicken and the Pasta Salad that we made on Monday. This uses the last of my orange marmalade. Use the substitutions if you are out.
Lemon Chicken Breasts Time: 30 minutes
Chicken breasts are a favorite on the grill but be careful not to overcook or they tend to dry out. We prefer to slice them thinly, at an angle, to serve rather than leaving the breast whole, but that, of course is optional!
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
3 tbs olive oil
2 tbs lemon juice
2 - 3 tbs orange marmalade or
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried tarragon leaves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
In small bowl whisk together oil, juice, marmalade, garlic, tarragon and ginger. Put chicken in shallow glass baking dish and pour marinade over. Let marinate 15 - 30 minutes. Cook on barbecue grill 15 - 20 minutes or on baking sheet in oven (400F) for 25 - 30 minutes or until done. When done (knife poked in and juices run clear) remove from heat, slice and serve.
Oriental Pasta Salad Time: 5 minutes
Remove from fridge, stir and serve.
