Another day, another dish. Since I grilled fish last night, I thought to myself I should grill chicken this time. I bought bunch of organic chicken thighs from Costco and they come really handy. It has been awhile since I roasted some potatoes and I added that to the dinner.
Ingredients
1 lbs. chicken thighs - skinless, boneless
1 lbs. fingerlings potatoes
8 oz baby bella mushrooms
2 medium zucchini
Marinade
1/2 lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tbsp oregano
3 crushed garlic cloves
For Roasted Potatoes
1 sprig of rosemary - minced
1 minced garlic clove
Wash chicken thighs with cold water and drain. Mix marinade ingredients in a small bowl and place chicken pieces in a large plastic bag, pour marinade over and close the bag. Mix everything well, set aside for at least 30 minutes. Heat grill on medium and place chicken thighs on it and cook until the outside is golden brown, then flip and cook until the meat thermometer reads 165F. Place on a plate and cover with aluminum foil loosely.
Wash zucchini and peel skin in stripes. Cut 1/2 thick slices diagonally. Place them in a baking sheet and spray olive oil and mix it to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them on a hot grill and cook until soft and translucent in the middle.
Wash potatoes and pat them dry. Cut big ones into 1/2 inch. chunks and place them in a big bowl. Sprinkle with olive oil and mix to coat. Bring a 12 inch skillet on medium low heat, add potatoes and cover with a lid. Stir occasionally until the center is soft. Add garlic and rosemary and stir until fragrant. Serve immediately.
It has been awhile since last post. There have been a lot going on and I couldn't find the time to post. I had to get my root canal re-done. That was not fun and took some energy out of me. Then the weather has been dreary. Last weekend, we went to Rockford to see Alex's family and it was a tiring trip. I have been getting pretty lazy and don't like that. So, here is my attempt to change that. I decided to make some chicken wings in the broiler since it is easier to use it and turned out really good. I made it really spicy this time and they are much better that way.
Chicken Wings
9 chicken wings - separated at the bone in the middle and makes 18 pieces
Marinade
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lemon juice
1/2 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Cut wings at the joint and wash them. Place wings in a large bowl and mix with marinade mix and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Turn on broiler on high and place chicken wings on a rack and place a baking sheet underneath. Add 1 cup of water into the pan to prevent smoking. Broil until the skin turn dark brown and flip the other side.
Enjoy!
