Grilled BBQ Chicken

Well food blog, it's been a while since I have posted. It's been a crazy past few weeks, but I think we are now back on schedule.
So this isn't much of a recipe, but it was such a quick and easy meal for us tonight since I had to go to work twice today.

Grilled BBQ Chicken
2 chicken breasts
Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce

That's it.
Easy peasy. 

So when I left for work this afternoon I just laid 2 chicken breasts out to thaw. When the husband got home, he marinated them for about 30 minutes in the BBQ sauce (definitely tastes better if you can marinate them longer) Then he threw them on the grill for about 30-45 minutes, flipping them occasionally.
Then we are super lazy with mashed potatoes, but we love the Idahoan brand of instant mashed potatoes. So I made some of those real quick and some broccoli.
So simple. But yet so yummy.
Also, the mashed potatoes are good with a little bit of cheese on top. Or if you're like my husband, you put a lot of cheese on top.

yup. when you are in a hurry you get to use paper plates. keepin it classy folks.

So there you have it, grilled BBQ chicken.
Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Sesame Ginger Chicken with Pineapple

This is something I just put together over the weekend. It was quick and easy and quite tasty. 

2 chicken breasts
Kroger sesame ginger marinade 
1 8oz can of pineapple tidbits 

Throw it all in your slow cooker and cook on high for about 4-6 hours, ours finished in a little over 4. Or you can cook it on low for 6-8 hours. 
After it was finished cooking we just served it over white rice.
And there you have it, a quick easy meal for 2!



*one thing Nick pointed out, try adding your pineapple the last hour of cooking or right before. Ours didn't taste too much like pineapple cause it cooked the whole time. Or try fresh pineapple.*
