"Summer" Rubber Chicken
Adapted from Leanne Ely
for a family of 5

Place 12 chicken breasts in2 large ziplocks (6 ea)
split a bottle of italian salad dressing (1/2 the bottle in each bag)
marinate 6 hours or overnight

grill all 12 breasts on your outdoor grill (or bake in 400 degree oven 40 mins)

Day 1: serve 6 breasts on first night, with salad, veggie, potatoes

Day 2: Chicken Quesadillas. Take 3 of the remaining chicken breasts and cube/shred. Place on 1/2 of a flour tortilla, sprinkle cheese (Monterey jack, cheddar or other), add a few diced green chiles (or jalapenos) dash some tabasco sauce or salsa (for heat). Fold in half and grill on both sides in a nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet (use cooking spray on either) until blistered and cheese is melted. Keep warm in oven while cooking the others. I get 6 quesadillas out of this. Serve with chopped lettuce, tomatos, sour cream and guacamole.

Day 3: Take the remaining 3 breasts, dice/chop for chicken salad. I use mayo, rosemary, chopped egg, onion, finely chopped celery, salt & pepper. Serve with a salad and/or fries or chips.
