Lime Chicken

I found this recipe on another cooking blog and we loved it!!! It was really yummy and really easy!

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons honey
juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 ground ginger
pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook about three minutes on one side, or until it is nicely browned. Turn chicken over and add garlic to the pan, lower heat to medium low. Combine honey, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, ginger, and cayenne and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl, stir, then scrape into the pan with chicken.
Simmer for five minutes (or until chicken is cooked through).

Remove chicken to plates and allow sauce to cook a little more to thicken slightly, stirring with a spoon to loosen bits of of chicken and brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Spoon sauce over chicken.

Serve with brown rice and a vegetable side

The Best Pork Tacos

Pork Loin
Sprite (or other carbonated bev)
505 Green Southwest Sauce (found near salsas)
Pace Green Taco Sauce (also near salsas)
Taco toppings (sour cream, lettuce, cheese, onions....)

Place pork in crock pot. Add about a can of sprite. Cook. (I usually do 6-8 hours but you can do more or less). Take pork out of crock pot and shred with fork. Add 505 and Taco Sauce to taste. Serve on tortillas with toppings.

(This is sooooooo yummy! The carbonation makes the meat so tender and the sauce is so tasty. Great on Carolina's (in downtown Phoenix) tortillas. My sisters LOVED this and so have some other friends I've shared it with!)

Indonesian Ginger Chicken

I actually copied this recipe from another blog because it looked so good. It was really yummy! Instead of the quarted chicken I used chicken breasts and baked it for 40 min.

1 cup Honey
3\4 cup soy sauce
1\4 cup minced garlic (about 10 cloves)
1\2 cup peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 chicken quartered with backs removed

Cook the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat until the honey is melted. Arrange the chicken in a shallow baking pan, skin side down, and pour on the sauce. Cover pan and marinate overnight in refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 1/2 hour. Uncover the pan , turn the chicken skin side up and raise temperature to 375. Continue baking for 30 minutes or until juices are clear.
The sauce becomes a rich dark brown.
