Hi Hey Hello!

How’s it going, friends? Remember, it’s Wednesday… we’re half way to the weekend!!

Speaking of… I got a little ahead of myself and thought that Mother’s Day was this coming Sunday. Turns out, it’s not.

I was all prepared with serving you breakfast fares and boozy drinks these next couple of days, but I guess I’ll pull those off the shelf and wait until next week. I was also very much prepared to open up some gifts… dang it! Have to wait 10 more days.

Also?? After taking these pictures, I told my husband I was going house hunting for a place with windows all around every wall. I am tired of these rainy days, but annoyed by the lack of light in the house, especially when it’s grey and dreary outside.

So,now that you’re caught up with all my struggles and complaints – world problems, right? – we can talk salads! AND oven grilled chicken!

OVEN GRILLED CHICKEN

I have to tell you this. My Mama thought I was a genius when she saw how I “grilled” chicken at home.

But, let’s track back a bit. My Mom cooks Macedonian food, exclusively. She doesn’t need grill pans, and laughsat the idea of owning a waffle maker. She’s quite happy with flipping crepes every weekend. Thus, when she had a bite of my oven-grilled chipotle chicken, she was verysurprised that I hadn’t cooked it on the grill.

Can you guess what I got her for Mother’s Day?! Cast Iron Grill Pan. If you don’t have one, get it.

• Let’s welcome chipotle and chicken to the table. Let’s pound down the chicken and throw it in a bag to meet up with its almost destiny.
• Then, 6 minutes on the stovetop, 20 minutes in the oven,and we have our perfectly tender, juicy and extremely flavorful piece of meat. Wam bam thank you ma’am!
• Cut it up, layer it on top of some greens, throw in a few corn kernels, slices of avocado, fresh tomatoes, cheese, a drizzle of LIGHT Salad Dressingand we’re done!

This can be dinner, this can be lunch, this can be your new favorite grilled chicken salad.

ENJOY!
