So, here I am again! Presenting you the strangest combination of foods on one plate you have ever seen: Chicken with Mango Barbecue Sauce (picked by Aggie's Kitchen) combined with red cabbage and cranberries, apple sauce and mashed potatoes.
I'll admit, this was not the diner I had in mind for tonight.... I wanted to serve the chicken with a nice salad, but when I came home today I discovered that my lovely romaine lettuce had changed into a slimy mess overnight.... I guess I'm just having that kind of a week!
Instead of the seeding and dicing some jalapeno peppers I found this really cool tube in the supermarket: jalapenopepper puree. Ideal: 1 teaspoon of the puree is the same as 1 whole jalapenopepper. No more accidentally rubbing in your eyes and having them sting and tearing because you forgot to wash your hands or simply didn't wash them good enough: just a simple squirt out of the tube!! Perfect.
Also I ommitted the lime juice: since I still had a peelless lemon leftover from this weeks TWD-recipe I decided to squize it before I could bin it. Then I cut the chicken into small pieces before marinating it in the sauce, thinking it would cut back marinating and cooking time (it was already about 8 p.m. when I popped the chicken into the fridge).
This dish is absolutely amazing: a perfect combination of sweet, tangy and spicy. I will definetely make this again, so Aggie: thank you for picking this recipe! One more good part: 1 serving of the chicken with sauce is only 3 WW Points!!!
Looks great. And it sounds like you enjoyed it. All of the things on your plate sound lovely. :o) Great job. And that pepper paste is really cool!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat is an odd combo, but as long as you enjoyed it, that's all that counts. I am so with you on the jalapeno paste. I only use pickled jalapenos in a jar because i have burned my eyes and face one too many times! I used lemon juice in mine as well. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed this pick.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat looks delicious and I love that pepper paste! I hate getting jalapeno into my eyes so I'll have to look for that. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat is one interesting plate but it looks good.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJust stopped by from SITS.
I am going to have to try that myself! It looks delish!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJust dropping in to say hi and welcome to the SITStahood! Have a great day!
I love the pepper paste! That would make it so much easier. This chicken was yummy.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenQuinoa is just a delicious grain. I don't really know how to describe it. You prepare it the same way as rice or barley or whatever, it is just very healthy and we love it. I have to buy it at the health food store though, I can't find it at my normal grocery store.
That looks really delish Marthe! Well done!
BeantwoordenVerwijderen3 WW points...that is great. The tube of spices is a great idea.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWelcome to SITS, it's great to have another new SITSer. This is also an invitation to come on over to my blog for a giveaway...
That looks yummy. Is it selfish to say I'm happy your romaine wilted? Mashed potatoes are so much better for the soul.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh, that jalapeno puree - genius!!! I'll be looking for that.
Welcome to SiTS! Em
