Had a hunger for skirt steak, so decided to marinade with lemon juice, red wine vinegar, low sodium soy sauce, California garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper. Marinade it for 2 hours, in a Ziploc bag and then patted it dried. Fired up the blue kettle, with reg. Kingsford and set up for direct heat. Season the steak with a mix of garlic powder, a pinch of salt (trying to keep the sodium as low as possible.). Throw the steak on the grill and about 2 minutes on each side.
Let the the meat rest, for about 10 minutes, then cut against the grain.
Along with some, red mash taters and it was well worth the effort.
This blog is dedicated to the art of BBQ, new recipes, food ideas, Spanish and international cuisine, sausage making and home brew. Hope to share the experiences and ventures we will encounter and how it all came to be.

Poulet-en Papillote, or Chicken in parchement paper
Started out with 3 chicken breasts about 2lbs. Laid out a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Folded up parchment paper like a book. Made seasoning for chicken breasts which consist of 2 tsp of clover honey, 1 tsp of olive oil, 1 tsp white wine, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp tarragon leaves, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp sage leaves, 1/2 tsp thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp rosemary leaves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp garlic, 2 tsp of orange juice and zest of 1 orange. All the ingredients except the honey was combined in a food processor, once thoroughly mixed, clover honey was added to create a paste. Using ziploc bag added chicken breasts and paste, closed bag and thoroughly coated chicken breasts evenly. Cut orange into slices and a handful of cherry tomatoes in half.
Arranged chicken breasts on top of parchment paper which was placed on top of cookie sheet. Place orange slices on top of breasts and sliced tomatoes on top of the orange slices.
Closed half folded parchment paper over chicken breasts then crimped & fold all around the edges. We stapled edges to ensure a proper close. Place cookie sheet in to preheated 400 degree oven in the middle rack. Baked for approximately 32-35 minutes. Remove from oven & let rest for 5 minutes. Carefully open the top of the parchment paper & allow for the steam to dissipate.
This is a great low fat, low sodium, easy prep meal that is also flavorful! Hope you will try it soon & let me know your opinions.
