marinade...

just because you are eating clean doesn't mean your food has to be boring and bland. we always have plenty of frozen chicken and fresh veggies on hand for easy and quick week night dinners. i like to get the frozen chicken tenderloins from trader joes, they are all white meat and defrost and cook up quickly. if possible, i try to defrost and marinate my chicken in the morning (or even the night before) so that it has great flavor. marinades that you buy in the store have a lot of extra sugar, but you can make a really great one with pantry ingredients, here is my new fav.


1 T lemon olive oil
2-3 T worcestershire sauce
1 T whole grain mustard
1 t crushed garlic
3 t of your favorite poultry seasoning (i am using "sunny paris" from penzy's spice shop)
pepper to taste

**this marinade could also be used on pork, fish or steak, although i would probably substitute regular olive oil instead of meyer lemon olive oil**
