Cooking Method: Marinating

Chicken Kabobs with Mushrooms and Peppers

My brother David is in town and he was kind enough to make dinner. Chicken Kabobs with Mushrooms and Peppers was what he came up with. He usually buys them already assembled, but they did not have any so he made it from scratch. It's a super healthy and easy meal to throw on the grill.

Mango Coconut Chicken

Mangoes may very well be the king of all fruits. They fight cancer, alkalize the body, aid in weight loss, regulate diabetes, help digestion and help clear acne. The list goes on..... I happen to have lots of mangoes at the moment and came up with this Mango Coconut Chicken. I served it with basmati rice and chopped fresh basil.

Marinated Grilled Tri-Tip

Marinades have only three main components: acid, fat, and flavorings. Marinades add flavor tenderizes the meat by breaking down the outer layers of connective tissue. The fat or oil is to help retain moisture and creates a caramelized brown finish during cooking. Flavorings are what make your marinade go from so-so to spectacular, which can be fresh and dried herbs, spices, onion, garlic, and condiments and sauces like mustard, soy sauce, sugar, molasses, honey, and ginger. This Marinated Grilled Tri-Tip has all those components. You can use it on all types of beef - London Broil, flank steak, skirt steak, etc. I always marinate meat in a ziplock bag.
