This was SUCH a great dinner!

SO, last night the menu was chicken, asparagus, and potatos...simple yes...but please try! It was FABULOUS and the hubby LOVED it and he is one of the most picky eaters I know!

The Chicken was marinaded all day with the following (as suggested by someone on MFP...I don't remember who)...1/2 cup dt. coke, 1/2 cup fat free italian dressing, and 1/2 cup ketchup. Then I grilled it! SO yummy and not dry at all!!! Not for sure about the calories on this...depends on amount of chicken and what not but easy for you to figure.

Grilled Asparagus:

2 lb asparagus
1 tbsp EVOO
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper

Snap woody ends off asparagus and lay flat in pan (or I used a griller to place on the grill...you know the pan with the holes in it). Drizzle with EVOO (if on griller, place some foil under it or do it over sink). Then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on grill until tender-crisp (about 6 minutes on medium-high).

Foil Grilled Italian Potatos:

2 tsp EVOO
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp dried rosemary
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp paprika
2 tbsp kraft reduced fat parmesan grated topping

Cut potatos lengthwise into 1/8ths. Place on 14-inch aluminum foil. Drizzle with EVOO. Mix all spices in a bowl and then sprinkle evenly on the potatos. Wrap foil securely and bake on grill about 30-45 minutes.

Serves 4

This was SO yummy! Yes..not a really low calorie dinner, but if you have enough it's GREAT! I think it worked out to be like 400-500 calories total.

Enjoy!!
