Delish dinner

So just in case Jen the meal plan checker is listening... er, reading... I did stickish to my plan this week with a slight, and amazingly taste filled detour.

So the original plan was potstickers. We buy them at Costco and they are awesome. The little bug LOVES potstickers. Anywho, back to the potstickers plan. I was going to do salads with it with this asian ranch dressing from Tastefully Simple, but then Mara mentioned skewers of chili lime chicken and well... this is where the detour began. It was 60 degrees here today and perfect grilling weather so we went for it.


The little bug at two plates filled with chicken, potstickers, and rice. I'm guessing that means it was a big hit with the "under one" set.

Here is the chili lime marinade I used, very loosely taken from one found on all recipes. It makes enough for about 3 pounds of chicken or 2 pounds of chicken and some veggies.

Chili Lime Marinade
6 TB canola oil
2 TB balsamic vinegar
juice of two limes
2.5 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp of fresh minced garlic
4-5 shakes of Tabasco
fresh black pepper
