The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

Chicken for a crowd

This is the first Mother's Day in a long time that I actually had my mom at my house.  She and my dad had been in town to help me plant my garden....ok, my entire front yard!  So, I wanted to sever something light and flavorful.  I found this recipe on-line as I was browsing some quick recipes for another night.  I didn't think much of the recipe at first glance, but it turned out really good and I was very surprised over the left-over flavor in my chicken salad the next day.

From Youvegotsupper.com:

Aloha Chicken

6 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/4 C soy sauce
1/2 C sherry wine (I used white wine!)
1/8 C red wine vinegar
1 C pineapple juice
1/4 C sugar
1/4 tsp garlic powder

1. Place chick in a dish and mix remaining ingredients.
2. Marinate for 2 hours up to 24 hours (I did only 6 hours).
3. Remove chicken and cook on the grill over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes per side.

Family Factor: surprisingly good (my family is not a fan of the soy flavor usually)
Stomach Factor: pretty mild
Time Factor: so easy, quick and would make a great weekday meal
