Rowing, sailing, sinking, cooking, eating, whatever! What's on your plate today?

Morning!!!  Hope everyone is doing well today. It's just beautiful here, and during a big break in my day I plan on a nice walk. At least a mile, maybe two. We'll see.

Here's a nice recipe for Garlic Lime Chicken. I think it could be one of those things that you cook one day and have in the fridge for a week of lunches. I'm seeing it on top of salads, maybe even mixed with some plain Greek yogurt, chopped celery and onions for sandwiches.

Garlic Lime Chicken
Increasing or decreasing the cayenne controls the heat in this entree..

• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on desired degree of heat)
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves cut in strips (or use chicken tenders)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons lime juice

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on all sides of chicken breasts or chicken tenders.

Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons garlic powder and lime juice. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently to distribute the juice and garlic sauce.

TTFN

Albondigas is a traditional Mexican meatball soup. I thought I posted it once upon a time. I can do it again, if you'd like.
