Ginger-Citrus Chicken Thighs off the Grill

“I did the grill today. Chicago was a balmy 61 degrees, YAY! I used a basic marinade of ginger, garlic, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a few more ingredients. I left the skin on because my kids love crispy skin. A green salad and cheddar biscuits set it off. Good eating.” – Iris

Chicken Adobo Enchilada Bake

“In order to make this as healthy as possible, I avoided using soy sauce as well as a lot of salt. I used a smaller amount of Adobo seasoning and, to make up for the flavor, I used extra garlic, and added paprika, and honey. The saltiness of the enchilada sauce and the fattiness of regular cheese makes up for the rest of the lower-sodium, lower-fat ingredients. This is a ‘healthier’ dish that still has a ton of flavor! Filipino – Mexican fusion!” – Monica
