New Owner and Your Next Dinner!
July 11th 2009 02:03
Hello all!
So. . . my first official time blogging on my own domain. . . exciting stuff! Yep. . . the ownership of this domain has switched hands. To avoid having to make another set of introductions and explanations, I'll just redirect anyone who wants to be informed as to who exactly has commandeered this domain here
In case you don't want to take the time to go and read that (and really, who has time to read/write these blogs anyway?), here's a summary of what this blog is about. Food. But not just that. Healthy food. But wait, why stop there? Healthy food that tastes good (not like sawdust or tofu). That pretty much sums it all up.
So let's break in this new domain with a recipe for something I know ALOT about: chicken. Who doesn't love chicken? Crazy people, that's who (you know who you are). It's the most versatile of all the meats. It's lean. It's easy to prepare. Oh yeah, and don't forget that it's delicious!
But you have to be selective with the chicken you get. What's the best chicken on the market, you ask? Well, the answer is quite obvious for anyone who's tried it. It's Smart Chicken. It's the most moist, cleanest, healthiest chicken out there. Not to mention the best-tasting. And how does it manage that? The process it goes through. It's air-chilled. While most chicken is water-chilled, losing moisture, soaking in its own filth, Smart Chicken is chilled hanging up, allowing it to retain its moisture, taste, and cleanliness. So how could you choose anything else? Check out their website here: Best Chicken Ever and look for it in your supermarket.
Okay, now that I've informed you as to the best chicken money can buy, on to the recipe!
Maple Glazed Chicken
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup sugar-free or light maple syrup
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a Ziplock bag. Seal the bag and shake around until the ingredients are well mixed. Add in chicken and give another good shake so it is covered in marinade. Allow to soak for at least two hours in the refrigerator.
When ready to cook, remove chicken from the refrigerator. Preheat grill and take chicken from the marinade and put on the grill, reserving the marinade. Grill chicken until it is cooked all the way through, 3-4 minutes on each side depending on size of chicken breasts. Remove from the grill.
While chicken is grilling, pour remaining marinade into a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer
until sauce is reduced, 3-4 minutes. Baste grilled chicken breasts with sauce.
Dig in!
I ate these with a baked sweet potato and the combination was perfect! You get the sweet-savoriness of the marinade combined with the sweet-savoriness of the baked sweet potato, and it's absolutely incredible. Trust me, you won't be disappointed, especially after you try them with Smart Chicken!
So I hope I don't disappoint anyone who came to Cooking Voyage expecting the old owner. I promise to do my best to maintain an awesome blog and keep providing excellent, healthy recipes!
