The fries turned out just as good as last time – definitely a keeper when it turns out good for me two times in a row! When I called Tony to tell him the grilled chicken marinade, I think he threw up in his mouth a little. So his chicken breast is simple season salt and cracked pepper.
Me and Hannah kicked ours up a notch!
Grilled Chipotle-Lime Chicken Breasts
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili in adobo sauce, diced (I actually found mine at my Dollar General for .50 a can!)
- juice of two limes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 chicken breasts
Whisk together the chile, lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, garlic and water and then put in a ziploc bag. Throw in the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate on the counter while you make the fries, about 15 minutes. While I marinated two, Hannah and I split one breast. I am marinating the other breast overnight to see how much flavor difference there is between the short and long marinade.
Remove chicken from bag allowing excess marinade to drip off. I used my cast iron griddle over two burners. Cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees. I plated mine with 1/2 ounce cooked bacon, .6 ounce swiss cheese, 2 ounces of the oven fries and a cup of baby spinach with 1 tablespoon light balsamic vinaigrette.
But first, I may have had a small handful of the salt & vinegar peanuts as my afternoon snack! I have them on my desk. I have to entice people with food to get them on my side of the building sadly!

![p2180065-640x480 hello Swiss cheese! My chicken was 3 ounces, and I ended up having a bit more bun than chicken so I ended up picking off the outside of the bottom and top bun](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p2180065-640x480.jpg)
![p2180067-640x480 I had jalapeno ketchup on the side (no pic) Thanks Mel and J - the bottle is half gone already!!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p2180067-640x480.jpg)
![p2180068-640x480 I made the mistake of buying just regular spinach and not baby spinach. Hannah and I both agreed we love baby spinach much better.](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p2180068-640x480.jpg)

Off to chillax with my Tony – see you at breakfast! While the protein of the milk held me somewhat this morning, I missed my eggs!

Mmm, that looks really good and filling. I used to subscribe to a lot of cooking magazines, but I stopped because they were just cluttering my house and I didn’t use the recipes. It’s great that you use the recipes and inspire us to do the same!
Delicious and flavorful!!!!
