I Made a Main Course Meal!

I know, it's shocking, right? I mean the most I can do is brown ground beef!!

Well Kevin is always complaining that I don't make dinner for him when he gets home from work, and I'm always like "I don't know how to cook!" So I thought I'd start practicing.

So this was my first time ever making anything but browning ground beef. So I was extremely nervous. I've always seen Kevin cooking it, so I kinda knew what to do.

I don't have a picture, because the chicken didn't look very appetizing (it looked more like a naked mole rat with marinade)

Ingredients:
3-4 large frozen chicken breasts (depending on how many people you're serving)
Any marinade of your choice (I used Mexican Lime -or something like that. I also wanted to do Lousianna Red Pepper, but thought that might be a little too hot for little Taylor)

Defrost chicken breasts by placing them in a large ziploc bag, and submerging them into a sink-full of hot water.
As soon as they are defrosted, pour marinade of choice into bag, and toss into refrigerator, until ready to cook. The stuff I use is "30 minute marinade", but I leave it on for a few hours before cooking.
When ready to cook, place on broiling pan. Save the leftover marinade in the bag!!
I use a broiling pan, and put the oven on "broil"
That means it cooks from the top instead of the bottom, and the folks in Europe call it "grill", because that's basically what you're doing.
Put the broiling pan on the bottom shelf, and cook for 7-10 minutes.
Halfway through cooking, take them out and drizzle on leftover marinade.
Put them back in for remaining minutes. Then, take them out and flip them over. Drizzle the rest of the marinade on them.
Leave in for 7-10 minutes.
Internal temperature should be at 165 degrees F. My thermometer sucks, so I wait until it's 140 degrees F or more. The chicken should continue to cook once out of the over for a few minutes.

So that was my first time cooking chicken, and everyone loved it. It was a little dry because since I thought our thermometer actually worked, I put it in for a little longer. Just don't let it get brown or black around the edges.
