Clam Cookies

We used 2 packages of large clam looking cookies we found at Walmart and then two plastic containers of cream cheese frosting, whipped in a stand mixer just until light and fluffy.  Also add food coloring of your choice.

Pipe frosting onto the backside of the clam cookie using a large open star tip, add another cookie to the top and making one side of the sandwich clam more closed than the other.  Use Sixlets for clam pearl.

Marinated Grilled Chicken

~ lindy

We made 2 different chicken marinades for our Grilling Party.  Italian and Chili, the chili was the biggest hit but the Italian chicken is very good too!

Italian Marinade

*3 large Chicken Breasts, filet the chicken/halved

*1/4-1/2 cup Extra Light Olive Oil

*8 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

*1 Tablespoon Garlic, minced

*1/2 cup chopped Onions

*2 tablespoons Fresh lemon Juice

*Zest from 1 Lemon

*1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning

*1/2 teaspoon White Pepper

*1 teaspoon Sea Salt

*2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

*1/2 cup Sprite

Place 1/2 of the above ingredients in a Ziploc bag and add the chicken fillets (halves) refrigerate 2-4 hours or overnight. (Discard any Marinade in bag)

Save in the fridge the other half of the marinade for the chicken and at the end of grilling and baste with marinade.  Grill chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear on low-medium.

Chili Chicken Marinade

*3 Large Chicken Breast, Filet the chicken/halved

*1/4-1/2 cup Extra Light Olive Oil

*8 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

*1/2 cup Chopped Onions

*2 tablespoons fresh Lemon Juice

*Zest of 1 Lemon

*2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

*1 tablespoon Chili Seasoning

*1/4 cup Brown Sugar, optional if you don’t want sweetness

*1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

*1 teaspoon Sea Salt

*2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

*
Place 1/2 of the above ingredients in a Ziploc bag and add the chicken fillets (halves) refrigerate 2-4 hours or overnight. (Discard any marinade in bag.)

Save in the fridge the other half of the marinade for the chicken at the end of grilling and baste with marinade. Grill chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear on low-medium.

*A Little Extra:  I like to put the Grilled chicken fillets in a cast Iron skillet and cover the skillet and chicken with foil and place them in a 350*F. Oven for 20 minutes with any extra saved marinade  to make them extra moist.
