Chicken... Again

Super easy salad to start. Looks impressive and tastes even better. And as a bonus, it takes no time to make. You have nothing to lose to try it. Peeled carrot on a cucumber slice next to a basil leaf. Add a couple lines of honey (get the good stuff, not the cheap stuff), and put a couple of drops of balsamic vinegar on top and you will have the easiest and freshest salad you've ever tasted. 

Tried something a little different with the chicken. Marinated a chopped chicken breast in fresh squeezed lime juice (2 limes) with salt/pepper for 20 minutes. Added 2 Tbs of butter to a pan with onions, fresh green beans, and zucchini with the chicken and lime juice for a delightfully tasty dinner. Next time I think I will grill the whole chicken breast (butterflied) after the marinate (similar to the grapefruit chicken post) because the color was not spectacular and grill marks would of helped make it look more appetizing (that said I'd lose some lime flavor because it wouldn't actually be cooked in the lime juice). 

For the baked potato: poke holes in the potato, season with olive oil and salt, wrap in foil, bake at 375 for 1 hour. Remove top layer of potato and carve out a boat. Take the filling (remove skin first) and mash it with cheese, paprika, garlic, mayo (or sour cream), a small amount of butter, salt, pepper, and stick back in the oven for 30 minutes.
