South of the Border Again and Looking way Cool to Boot

Well tonight I am making Grilled Honey Lime Chicken Sandwiches with Flavored Tortilla Chips. So let's get right into it......

Ingredients.....

1 lime, juiced (got it_

2 tablespoons honey (Had this already)

1 rounded teaspoon cumin(got it)

A handful cilantro, finely chopped, about 1/2 tablespoons (got this already on hand)

2 tablespoons evoo(got it, you could also use corn oil if you want)

4 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast(got these in the freezer)

1 teaspoon grill seasoning blend or coarse salt and pepper(I use salt and pepper)

Toppings: lettuce, tomato, red onion, and sliced avocado(had everything except the avocado, had to buy it)

1 cup prepared salsa verde(feeling a tad lazy, so I bought a jar, instead of making it)

4 crusty rolls, split(bought them)

Assorted flavors of Tortilla Chips(I bought these new lime flavored ones, if you have not tried them, you need to........they are DA BOMB)

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken with seasoning blend or salt and pepper. Coat chicken in dressing and set aside for 10 minutes.

Grill chicken on an indoor electric grill 6 to 7 minutes on each side or pan fry over medium high heat in a large nonstick skillet uncovered 6 minutes per side.

Slice chicken breasts on an angle and pile meat roll bottoms. Top with lettuce, tomato, red onion and sliced avocado. Spread salsa on roll tops as a condiment. Serve sandwiches with assorted tortilla chips. I also whipped up a greek chuck veggie salad with a big amount of feta cheese........so I guess tonight the meal is south of the border, but with a touch of greece.

The verdict.........although I am not a fan of lime chicken....these were really good and something that would be great to enjoy sitting on the beach under the shade of a palmtree with a big margarita to drink.

I have to say that when Rachael Ray says her recipes will make you look "way cool" she is telling the truth. My special friend has been enjoying everything I have made and she thinks I am like this cool chef...........so THANK YOU RACHAEL!!!!!

until tomorrow......
