It is a good feeling to work hard and see the results at the end of your toil. Today, I used some of the fruits of our labor in the garden to put together a quick and simple dinner. The first item I cooked, was a beautiful acorn squash we grew at our community garden plot. To this I added butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and three marshmallows per half. I wrapped this in foil and threw it on the grill for about an hour. After that was going, I put together a chicken in foil for the grill. This is what it looked like before cooking.
Now a little closer....
Now this was quite easy to throw together:
2 Medium chicken breasts
2 Tbs. Olive oil
2 Tbs. Salsa starter blend (from a packet)
2 Tbs. Recipe Secrets Savory Herb with Garlic Blend (another packet)
3 Medium Red tomatoes
3 Medium Green tomatoes
1. Combine the olive oil and seasonings in a ziploc bag.
2. Add chicken and shake well to coat.
3. Put chicken on aluminum foil.
4. Quarter the red a green tomatoes and place on top of the chicken.
5. Salt and pepper to taste.
6. Add three sprigs parsley.
7. Wrap tightly in the foil and grill until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160° F as measured with a tip sensitive digital thermometer. (Sorry, I am a food safety microbiologist!)
8. Serve and enjoy!
It was very fun to put this together as the tomatoes and parsley were fresh from my garden. Hope you all get a chance to try this out!!
