Back in 2004 I tried a Polynesian grilled chicken dish. I remember liking it but never made it again. I don’t know why. The other day I was thinking about it because I had fresh herbs, chicken, peppers and onions so I decided to make it again. Dallas made rice (he always makes the rice) and we ate them together. He loved it. Recipe here.
The salad I made with dinner is a pretty standard one for us. Lettuce, mandarin oranges, toasted almonds, edamame, watercress, green onion. I had some mushrooms that day so I threw them in too. For dressing, we either make our own using Dallas’ mom’s secret recipe or we also love Olde Cape Cod toasted sesame, soy, and ginger dressing (all natural and fat free!).
This is our out of control basil that I used in the recipe. It’s almost waist high!

For sides I made edamame and couscous.
