Grilled Chicken with spicy cheese grits

Ingredients:

1 boneless skinless chicken breast sliced into tenders

5 or 6 small sweet peppers sliced in strips

½ a small sweet onion sliced in strips

¼ cup greek yogurt

2 Tablespoons lime juice

¼ teaspoon each cayenne pepper, ancho chili powder, chipotle chili powder

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup quick cooking grits

¼ cup shredded low fat sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup chicken stock

½ cup milk

pickled jalapenos – to taste

Directions:

Place chicken, greek yogurt, lime juice, chili and pepper powders in large plastic bag to marinate.  Marinate chicken at least 20 minutes or up to 6 hours.

Heat skillet or grill pan lightly coat pan with olive oil.  Add a few chicken tenders to hot pan.  Do not crowd the chicken.  Grill chicken on both sides until browned and juices run clear.  I placed a plate in a 350 degree oven and placed the chicken on the plate once it was done.  Add onions and chicken to the hot pan.  At this point you may need to add some additional oil.

While onions and peppers are cooking heat the chicken broth and milk to a rolling boil, slowly stir in grits and stir continuously.  Cook according to the package directions.  Once the grits are cooked stir in cheese and jalapenos.
