SandraL Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Alright, I will prep the main meat dish but will need veg and a starch to go with it. This one is so easy and company worthy. Just need to make sure you have the chicken defrosted, pounded and marinated in advance. Everyone in my family loves this and it is company worthy. And you never seem to be able to ruin it when cooking it. The marinating always makes it moist and delicious! Spicy Grilled Chicken Steak 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 3 tbsp olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1 tbsp lemon juice pinch hot red pepper flakes 1) Place each piece of chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper or parchment paper. Pound chicken with a meat cleaver until about 1/2 inch thick. 2) Combine oil, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, lemon juice and hot pepper flakes. 3) Add chicken to marinade and coat well. (I always pour marinade into a ziploc bag and then add chicken and coat). Refrigerate for up to 4 hours. 4) Heat heavy skillet, grill pan or BBQ. (We always use BBQ). Brush lightly with oil. When pan is very hot, add chihcken. Cook about 3 mins per side. Let rest for a few minutes and serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraL Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 And I just have to ask Shelli....what the heck is shoe peg corn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellit74 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 ummm... I dont know really... its kinda a light yellow colored corn. I can only find it in here in the Green Giant variety. what wikipedia says: Shoepeg corn is a variety of white sweetcorn valued for its sweetness. It is characterized by small, narrow kernels that form uneven, tightly packed rows on the cob. The kernels are small, narrow, and white in color with a sweet, mild flavor. Shoepeg corn is also known as country gentleman corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
