Let me tell you a little more about our delicious dinner that is happily marinating in our fridge, now that those awful jingles from the patio furniture and covering commercials are out of my head.
Get yourself several potatoes. Peel them, and slice them into chunks. Place into a large bowl.
Get together however many chicken breasts you think you’ll need to feed your family (for us, a family of four with a husband and son with very hearty appetites, four chicken breasts, or roughly 2.5 lbs. worth of meat, is plenty to feed everyone AND provide leftovers for the next day), and place them in a bowl or other container with sides higher than that of the chicken breasts.
Now, whip up a marinade. I recommend a half/half blend of white and/or apple cider vinegar and Italian or Hearty Italian salad dressing. Use enough so that your chicken and potatoes will be completely immersed. Throw in one or two marinade packets – I recommend grill seasonings or chicken or beef herb, but go with whatever you enjoy.
Now! Go after some spices and seasonings with gusto. We use garlic salt, Montreal Chicken seasoning, and salt and pepper.
Finally, make sure that when your marinade concoction is complete, your chicken and potatoes are completely submerged into the mix.
Place both chicken and potatoes in fridge for at least six hours. But the longer, the better. In the past we have left our meat and potatoes soaking for up to 48 hours (obviously you’ll need to buy fresh chicken breast so there’s no risk of expired meat!).
When you’re ready to make your meal, gather up several chunks of potatoes and place them on a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough for the sides to come up and wrap around and cover the potato chunks. Add melted butter to the potatoes for an extra delicious touch.
When it’s time to cook, cook in a broiler or on a grill.
