Have you ever heard of Lawry’s marinades? They can be super good marinaded with chicken or seafood during the Summer. Empty bottle into a ziplock bag a long with whatever choice of protein you used. Then grill it. The thing about those marinades is how much salt is in them. According to their website, 1 tablespoon has 350 mg of sodium! That is crazy. The whole bottle probably has like 10,000 mg of sodium. I decided to give myself a challenge and make my own version of Lawry’s Baja Marinade. Hardly any salt is used and your heart will thank you! Add the ingredients to a ziplock bag and then the chicken breast. It can marinate overnight or up to hours. The longer it sits the better the chicken gets. Ingredients for Marinade:
2 teaspoon of olive oil¼ cup of chicken stock fat-free1 tablespoon of chili powder1 teaspoon of smoked paprika1 teaspoon of cumin1 teaspoon of onion powder1 teaspoon of garlic powder½ juice of 1 lime
Sometimes I leave the chicken whole as it is in the picture on top or I’ll dice the chicken in strips. Once the chicken is done cooking and the orzo pasta, place the chicken on top along with some queso cheese sauce. I really like Tostitos Medium Con Queso cheese sauce. 2 tablespoons is only 1 smart point on WW. Depending on whether or not I have the ingredients, I will make a pico de gallo to go on top. If not, just use whatever tomatoes you have on hand. This is one of the most delicious dinners I’ve ever made! 5 from 1 reviews
