Making Dinnertime Fun: Lawry’s “Dinnertisement” #Giveaway

Lawry’s has recently introduced a new variety of salt blends and marinades to stores.  I was sent several flavors to experiment on my family with. (What can I say, I love making them into my guinea pigs.)  I received the following flavors:

• Santa Fe Chili Marinade
• Herb & White Wine Marinade
• Mediterranean Herb Seasoned Salt
• Fire Roasted Chile & Garlic Salt
• Roasted Garlic Salt

I began to plan our menu the minute I received the Lawry’s products.  I decided to stick with something that I do best….SIMPLE!

While I love to cook, I also love to make a meal that comes together quickly and tastes delicious.  Meals like this give me the ability to spend more time with my family instead of more time in the kitchen.

For this particular meal, I decided to go with the Lawry’s Santa Fe Chili Marinade and Fire Roasted Chile & Garlic salt.  I took 3 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts and placed them inside of a gallon Ziploc bag.  Next, I poured the bottle of Lawry’s Santa Fe Chili Marinade over the chicken and placed it inside the refrigerator for one hour.

When I tasted the marinade straight from the bottle, I was afraid the kids may think it was too spicy.  However, once the chicken was cooked on the grill, it toned down the spiciness nicely.  I got a little ahead of myself there, so now you know that once I took the chicken out of the ice box, we cooked it on the grill.  Be sure to discard any leftover marinade once you remove the chicken breasts from the Ziploc.

In addition to the chicken breasts, I decided to make corn on the cob on the grill as well. We sprinkled the Fire Roasted Chile & Garlic salt on the corn before cooking it.  I will be posting the full recipe for the grilled corn shortly, so be watching for it.  If you have never had grilled corn, it is absolutely delicious!

I learned the next time I use the Fire Roasted Chile & Garlic salt, I may want to go more sparingly on the kids pieces.  My 3 year old thought it was a little too spicy for her taste buds, but for me it was just perfect.  I thought it added a great flavor and complimented the chicken breasts nicely.

Everything that I cooked that evening was able to be prepped in less than 15 minutes.  Then it was as simple as grilling it up outside while I watched the kids play in the yard.  It turned out to be the perfect summertime meal for the family.
