So-Easy BBQ-Glazed Chicken

Another great recipe from my favorite magazine!  Tonight we had "so-easy bbq-glazed chicken" with corn on the cob.  Lloyd and I both loved it!  Thank you Kraft food & family magazine!  Enjoy!!!

What You Need

1/2 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing, divided

4 small  boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)

1/4 cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce

2 Tbsp.  orange marmalade

Make It

HEAT grill to medium heat.

POUR 1/4 cup dressing over chicken in shallow dish; turn over to coat both sides of each breast. Refrigerate 10 min.

MEANWHILE, mix barbecue sauce, marmalade and remaining dressing.

REMOVE chicken from dressing; discard dressing. Grill chicken on covered grill 12 to 15 min. or until done (165°F), turning occasionally and brushing with barbecue sauce mixture the last few minutes.

Chicken Tacos

Tonight I tried a new recipe for chicken tacos.  I get People magazine and they always have a recipe or two from different celebrities.  I usually don't think they sound like something we'd like but in the last one, Sheryl Crow used a recipe from her new cookbook for chicken tacos.  They sounded yummy so I gave it a try.  They were delicious!  Here's the recipe:

1 1/2 c. chicken stock

1 1/2 c. mild salsa

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Shells (we used soft)

Shredded Cheddar

2 c. shredded lettuce

In a sauce pan, combine the chicken stock and the salsa.  Bring to a boil.  Add the chicken, cover and simmer on low heat for 1 1/2 hrs.  Remove chicken from pan, reserving some liquid, shred chicken with two forks.  Pour reserved liquid over chicken to keep it moist (you don't need much because it's very moist already).  Create your tacos!  This is definitely a recipe I'll use over and over!!!

TGIF :)

This week has felt extremely long.  I think it's because Lloyd had to work later than normal a couple of nights and that make the days seem a lot longer for me and Lauryn too!  Hopefully we'll get to spend a lot of time together this weekend.

I'm trying out a new recipe for dinner.  It's for shredded bbq chicken sandwiches.  The chicken breasts and sauce mixture have been in the crock pot for a few hours now and it's smelling good in here!  If it turns out as tasty as it's smelling, I'll post the recipe.  I whipped up a macaroni salad to go with it.

Ah Michigan, you never cease to amaze me.  Today, instead of snowing, it's been raining.  YUCK!  In the spring, I don't mind the rain at all.  When the weather is getting nice and the rain means green grass and flowers, I'm all for it!  But now, when it's cold and nasty out there, all I can say is YUCK!  Days like today make me want to take out a personal loan just so we can go on vacation to somewhere sunny and warm!  :)
