Key West Chicken
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
In a shallow container, blend soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, lime juice, and garlic. Place chicken breast halves into the mixture, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes. (I put mine together in the morning before leaving for work, so it marinated for about 12 hours)
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. Discard marinade, and grill chicken 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.
Almost Fried Plantains
1 ripe plantain, look for one with lots of brown spots
1/4-1/3 cup water
cooking spray
Peel plantain and slice 1/4 inch thick on a slight diagonal. This will give you oblong slices that are easy to handle while cooking.
Using medium-high heat, pre-heat a non stick skillet.
Place plantains in a single layer in the pan. Add water just until it covers the bottom half of the plantains. Reduce heat a small amount and cook 2 or 3 minutes until the water evaporates. Your plantains should begin to have a softer texture and more translucent quality. Lightly spray the tops of the plaintains with cooking spray and turn over. Cook an additional minute or so until you get a lovely, slightly crispy brown exterior on the plantains. Give the tops another quick spray of oil and turn over again. Cook the first side a minute or so until it too has browned a bit.

Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!!! The chicken sounds yummy. Glad Kevin liked it even with the soy sauce :)
Thanks!! :)
Yep, Kevin totally didn't know there was soy sauce in the marinade. It wasn't a strong flavor, though... I could taste more honey and lime and garlic than the soy. So that probably helped out a lot. :)
Happy Anniversary! Super cute pictures!! Chicken sounds like a great meal and I love fried plantains.
