Lemon Chili Chicken
*
*5 large chicken Breasts, sliced in half making 10 filets

Lemon Chili Marinade

*3/4 cup water

*3-4 Tablespoons Frozen Pineapple Orange Concentrate, mix with the 3/4 cup water

*2 Tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil, more for cooking

*2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

*4 teaspoons Srirache Sauce

*3 teaspoons Chili Powder

*1 teaspoon ground Coriander

Divide the marinade ingredients (except for water and pineapple orange concentrate) between two, 1 plastic Ziploc gallon sized bag and mush around in the bag OR whisk together in a bowl all ingredients and then divide marinade in half and add to each bag. Add 1/4 cup of the mixed water and orange pineapple juice leaving 1/4 of a cup of the juice for the last few minutes of cooking.

Add 5 chicken filets to each Ziploc bag with marinade. Remove most of the air from the bags and close the bags and squeeze bags to coat all the pieces of chicken. Marinade 6 hours or overnight.

After marinating, remove chicken from bags and cook on medium heat in a heated cast iron skillet/skillets with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink and juices run clear. Add 1/8 cup of the pineapple oranges to each skillet cook for a 2 more minutes. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting or serving and enjoy!

Note: (I like to add the remaining orange juice with cooked chicken and place the cast iron skillet/skillets in a 350*F. oven for 15-20 minutes. This makes a moist chicken.)

Sooo… many pictures! But I wanted to capture as many aspects of Jamie’s party. I hope you enjoy part 2 of her Harry Potter Birthday party.

See our Oreo Truffles for making the snitch and we used the foil off the Rolos, 2 roll wrappers per snitch. When making truffles use a teaspoon of Oreo mixture per snitch.

Chocolate Frogs

We used chocolate almond Bark to make some of the frogs. We made these mostly for decoration. If you want to eat them it is best to use a good dipping chocolate, melted and add to frog molds OR use standard package of good quality dark or milk chocolate chips and melted with one teaspoon shortening in a double boiler on low or microwave chocolate chips with shortening in 30 second intervals in the microwave until melted. Pour melted chocolate into frog molds of your choice. We bought our molds at Kitchen Kneads.
