What I Ate: Day 11 of my first 17
Yes.
THAT happened.
1 Dryer's Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Waffle Cone
1 small corn on the cob with cheese and butter
1 Elephant Ear
1 Raspberry Limeade
1/2 a large plate of biggie Nacho's.
It was a Holiday.
And I was at a festival all day.
What can I say.
Best Chicken Lettuce Wrap in the World
This chicken salad in a wrap was BOMB. I'm not sure if the reason it was so incredible was because I used the leftovers from the Balsamic Rosemary Grilled Chicken, and that chicken alone is amazing, or whether it was the juicy bites of grape that sent it over the top, but damn was it good.
Here's what I used:
1 leftover balsamic rosemary grilled chicken breast, diced
1 scallion, diced
1⁄2 cup chopped red grapes
2 tablespoons chopped celery
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Large lettuce leaves
Mix together all ingredients, but the lettuce leaves, in a bowl and refrigerate till chilled. Place the salad mixture in the lettuce leaf, wrap, and eat.
Remember the Vinegerate Dip from the original cooking of the chicken? Dip the wrap in that. Holy mother. Doesn't get much better than this.
5 Stars.

Dip that Balsamic Rosemary Grilled Chicken
Yesterdays food post brought you my favorite Balsamic Rosemary Grilled Chicken Recipe. I made 4 breasts, we ate two, and the next evening sliced up one of the breast in to thin strips and dipped them in the Vinegar sauce that I saved from the cooking pan. Holy melt in your mouth Deliciousness. Wow.
Perfect served as an appetizer, snack, or even as main dish served with sauteed veggies.
5 Stars!

Balsamic Rosemary Grilled Chicken
Best chicken recipe I've made to date. In my life.
Admittedly, I haven't made a lot of chicken recipes, but this.is.good. Really really good.
I used:
1 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP fresh rosemary chopped
1 TBSP minced garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Combine the vinegar, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt & pepper in a bowl and whisk well. Put the chicken in a Pyrex pan and stab them. Yes, you read that right: Stab the heck out of those breasts. I put horizontal and vertical stabs up and down each breast. Then pour the mixture over the top of the breast, spooning the mixture that pools in the pan back onto the breast until they are well coated. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Leave the foil on the pan and cook in the oven for about 45 minutes at 375 degrees.
DO NOT DRAIN THE SAUCE OUT OF THE PAN. Save it. This vinegar sauce is AMAZING. I used it on a salad I made to accompany dinner, and it is absolutely amazeballs as the dip for the leftovers. Finger licking good!
5 Stars. Please make this. Cause you're gonna need it for tomorrow's leftover..trust me!
