Chicken and Veggie Fajitas on the grill! A call for help |
|
I'm cooking veggie fajitas on the grill tomorrow. I want to chop up the veggies and marinate them in rotel for several hours, then put them on the grill in an aluminum pan. I also plan on marinating chicken breast strips in rotel for hours and hours then grilling them up. This stuff just jumps into my brain and insists on action. Am I headed in the right direction or am I just gonna make a mess? Refritos on the side?

1. Maybe do the Chicken before you cut it..... |
|
And maybe put some rin foil over the grill with a few holes punched through so that you can get some of the grill to the veggies....

I usually luck out on these cooking ventures. Anything to get my wife out of the kitchen. And regardless of the outcome, she'll appreciate it.

3. You're making me hungry |
|
I love chicken breast marinated in lime juice, garlic, cumin and worchester sauce. On the grill whole, then rest it and cut in strips (retains more juice and tenderness). Separately pan fry bell pepper and onions until the onions brown.
Black bean and corn salad.

4. Maybe you could skewer the veggies |
|
That way they get the nice grill taste and marks, yet don't fall through the grill.
I marinade my veggies in a lime, garlic and cilantro with olive oil and a dash of hot pepper sauce.

If you are going to marinate the chicken breasts in Rotel which is VERY acidic, only marinate them for about TWO hours, not hours and hours and add a splash of olive oil to the rotel.
Tomatoes are very acidic and chicken absorbs marinade faster than pork or red meat...high acid can dry out the breasts...so only do it for two to three hours and the oil will help keep the meat moist rather than dry it out
For the veggies, a drop of oil before grilling will also help...

for that sage advice. (Get it, sage advice?) I will reduce my marination time and add the olive oil as directed. I love it when a plan comes together.
