Bloody Mary Grilled Chicken

Here's something that was swirling in my head when we went to the Harvest Festival this past weekend. There was a booth selling bloody mary mix and salt rim seasoning. Tank's Premium Bloody Mary Mix. Now I'm not a bloody mary drinker but this non alcoholic mix had some recipes that I wanted to try and it has a really good spicy flavor to it. But as I was reading the recipe after I bought it was for a Crock Pot Chicken. So I started thinking, hmm, what about a marinade? So I went to the fridge and my spice cupboard and this is what I came out with.

4 pieces of chicken breast.                                                                                                                               1 cup of Tank's Bloody Mary Mix. (non alcoholic)
1/2 cup of Worcestershire Sauce.
3 tb Low Sodium Soy sauce
1/2 cup of Peach Cipotle Salsa. ( you can use any kind. I had this in the fridge).
Lime Zest
Weber Grind and Grill Kick'n Chicken seasoning.

In a glass bowl combine all ingredient and whisk. Lightly pound the chicken breasts. Add some of the marinade to the bottom of a pyrex dish. Add the chicken and pour the rest over the chicken making sure you coat all the chicken breasts. Marinate for 1 to 2 hours in the fridge.

Throw it on the grill till done and serve w/ whatever you like. I had some corn on the cob from the farmers market and brown rice from Trader Joe's. (Love that store)! Had a couple of Italian Sausage Links in the fridge so I threw that on the grill also. ENJOY!!

Spicy Sausage and Penne Pasta

Last night me and my wife Lynn went out for a few. We came home early (around 6 pm) and she passed out. I continued drinking and was hammered. Woke up w/ a hellacious hangover and laid around the house. Well Lynn's almost off so I had to scrounge up dinner. Popped open the fridge and cupboard  And here it is. forgive me if I don't write down exactly how much of this and that. I just add till it taste good. So however many people you are serving adjust accordingly.
