I’ve decided to start a series of recipes called “Slightly Inappropriate Family Dinners.” To start it off, here is the first delicious entry. We had this on Thursday night.
BTW- I’ll start by telling you what every recipe that requires a lengthy marinate time should tell you: MUST START TO MARINATE IN THE MORNING. There is nothing more annoying then trying a new recipe for dinner, pulling it out a 5:00 and realizing you should have actually read the recipe before then.
Margarita Chicken Salad
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1-1/2 cups margarita drink mix (contains no alcohol (darn). But can and should be served with alcohol)
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. finely shredded lime peel
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 medium tomatoes slices
2 medium avocados slices
1/2 of a medium red onion, (I don’t add this. Me and Jeff from Flipping Out share the same sentiment on onions.)
1/4 tsp. cracked black pepper
1. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade combine margarita mix, cumin, and lime peel. Pour over chicken; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 5 to 8 hours. Drain chicken, discarding marinade.
2. Grill chicken, cool slightly.
3. Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, and cayenne. Artistically arrange tomatoes, avocados, and red onion (not a chance) on 4 salad plates. Chop-up chicken. Add to salads. Drizzle with mayonnaise mixture and sprinkle with black pepper.
Chef Ramsay would hate how I plated this. He would make me cry for sure.
Delicious! Here’s my recipe for Irish roast turkey:
Ingredients:
One turkey
bottle of whiskey
bottle of brandy
bottle of rum
Roast turkey at 400 degrees for an hour. Remove and pour one bottle of whiskey over turkey. Roast for another hour, then pour bottle of brandy over bird. Add bottle of rum after another hour of roasting. Then throw away turkey and drink gravy.

oops, sorry for the double (now triple) post. Did you think you had a lot of fans?
Yes, I was terribly disappointed to find it was just YOU double posting.
As a fellow blogger you must know how I hang on each comment and refresh my stats bar every hour. Why do you feel the need to torment me? You’re in my Typelist aren’t you?
