New Recipe

We tried a new chicken marinade yesterday. It was really good. It’s a Betty Crocker recipe:

Grilled Citrus Chicken
It's the OJ, lemon juice and garlic marinade that makes this chicken sizzle.

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup frozen (thawed) orange juice concentrate
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons grated orange peel
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 3/4 lb)

Directions
1. In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except chicken. Add chicken; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate, turning chicken occasionally, at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
2. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, turning chicken and brushing with marinade occasionally, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
3. Heat remaining marinade to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Serve with chicken.
We used grated lemon rather than orange since we grew our own lemons. We didn’t brush the marinade on the chicken while it was cooking because it weirds me out to brush raw chicken juices over a chicken we are cooking, but we did follow step 3 to use the marinade as a drizzle over the chicken. Oh, we cheated with the garlic too; we just used minced garlic from a jar. I hope you like it because we sure did.We also tried to make homemade ice cream, but I’ nervous to taste it. The recipe had us heat the milk, sugar and cornstarch and then slowly add 4 eggs. Welp, when eggs are added to heat they cook…our ice cream mixture had a form of scrambled egg in it. I should have taken a picture, but it there were a few things going on, like melting chocolate too, and everything needed stirring the entire time. We put it in the ice cream maker for about an hour and it’s in the freezer waiting for us to taste it tonight. I’m hoping they scrambled egg isn’t noticeable after the churning and freezing process. Gross, but I’m going to taste it. I’ll let you know how it goes!
