It is not going to be a sunny week. It's been raining all day and the skies are grey grey grey! I need sunshine to survive. I don't like this Edward Cullen approved climate. So I'm transporting myself out of my little kitchen nook and onto an island. A sunny island, with a warm breezy, palm trees, soft sand, and rolling waves. Well, it's still raining outside but hey dinner is good enough for me! And I don't think I've posted dinner in a while.
So tonight I tried Jerk chicken. I also going to the easy way out and used a store bought marinade. I didn't have time today to mix and measure. It was definitely what I needed to help get me through this rainy evening.
Just marinate according to the directions on the bottle.
I used a split chicken breast. I covered mine with the marinade for 30 minutes. Then I cooked it at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes. Pretty easy right?
Mango Salsa? Yes please! Easy? Of course!
All you have to do is slice and dice:
3 roma tomatoes
1/2 small red onion
1 mango (peeled)
1 jalapeno (ribs and seeds removed if you don't like spicy)
1 clove of garlic
juice of 1/2 of a lime
1 tbsp honey
pinch of salt and pepper
Dice up the top 5 yummies and mince up the garlic. Toss in a bowl with the lime juice and honey. Season to taste with S & P.
Cook the rice according to package directions. When it's finished, fluff it up and add the juice of 1 1/2 limes. Add a generous sprinkle of salt and cilantro and stir it up to mix.
