Honey Soy Grilled Chicken with Grilled Asparagus and Cob of Corn

HI PEEPS!

Here to put down a quick recipe.

Life has been absolutely hectic for me lately, I have barely had time to itch myself let alone blog..

Sometimes you want to cook something quick, easy, healthy and of course YUMMY. I last whipped this meal up from scratch in under 30 minutes when we were rushing off to the cricket. It is very tastey, very filling and it saved Damo & I from spending big on crappy stadium food.

This one is an original Suzie G creation so please treasure it!

Honey Soy Grilled Chicken with Grilled Asparagus and Cob of Corn

Preparation time: 15-20mins (depending on how much of a rush you're in)
Cooking time: 10-15mins (depending on your multitasking ability)
Serves: 2

Chicken Marinade:
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp lemon juice

Other ingredients:
500g skinless chicken breast
1 bunch of fresh raw asparagus
2 cobs of raw sweet corn
2 tbsp olive grove lite spread (1 tbsp to coat the cooked corn)

Preparation:
** Mix all of the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl until thoroughly combined** Chop  the chicken into small strips (or cubes if you want to make into kebabs)
** Marinate the chicken in a marinating dish and leave in fridge for about 5 mins (i think left in the fridge for 30 mins is ideal but is dependant on how much spare time and how organised you are)
** Coat the asparagus lightly with 1 tbsp of olive grove and cracked salt and pepper

Cooking:
** Boil a pot of water and add cobs of corn, cover and leave to simmer for about 10 mins or until tender
** Grill chicken and asparagus on the BBQ (I love using the BBQ because it means Damo gets to cook!!)

Suzie G Hint 1: get yourself a Tupperware Season Serve.. they cost around $30 and they are the most amazing marinating dishes. The tenderise the meat whilst staying completely liquid tight and go in the fridge, freezer or dishwasher!!

Suzie G Hint 2: when we have people over for dinner I usually increase the recipe size (depending on how many people are coming) and I put the chicken on to skewers and make kebabs.. it looks much more impressive!
