Sautéed Chicken breast with Garlic and Lemon and Cucumber Salad ~

Dear Friends,

With spring in the air and a feeling of gratefulness in my heart I wanted to make something light and tasty.

I rarely make the same combination of flavors twice since so many flavors run through my head.

This is a version of the way my mom used to marinade her chicken for barbequing.

Ingredients:

1 ½ lbs. of boneless chicken breast - sliced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

Healthy handful of Italian parsley - chopped

3 - 4 cloves of garlic - chopped

1 tsp. of sugar

½ tsp. of salt

½ tsp. of black pepper

Dash of cinnamon

Dash of turmeric

Tablespoon of olive oil

Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade and place in the refrigerator. Let the chicken marinade for one hour or up to over night.

Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the chicken until golden on one side and flip to finish cooking on the other side.

~Cucumber Salad~

Ingredients:

5 small cucumbers - quartered

1 inch piece of fresh ginger - sliced thin

Handful of baby carrots - sliced

1 ½ small red onion - sliced

For the Dressing:

¼ cup vinegar

1 ½ tablespoons of sugar

¼ tsp. salt

Dashes of black pepper

Combine the above ingredients and stir. Add to the salad and let sit a bit in the refrigerator before eating.
