Chicken skewers, couscous, and corn on the cob.

This was last night's dinner.  On Friday night, I cut up 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast into about 1 inch pieces.  I divided them up so that half went into one freezer bag with teriyaki marinade (store bought), and the other half in a freezer bag with barbecue-buffalo marinade (also store bought).  My intent was to marinade them and have them for dinner on Saturday night, but we had a happy change of plans so I made them for dinner on Sunday.  I put the pieces on bamboo skewers and had the hubby cook them on the grill.  Yum.  Meanwhile, I made couscous and boiled corn on the cob.

With the leftover corn I made Corn Salsa with Lime.  Here is the recipe:

1/2 small red onion, chopped (if it is a large one, I would only use a quarter)
1 jalapeno, chopped with seeds discarded (if you like really spicy food, you can leave the seeds)
zest of one lime
juice of 2 fresh limes
chili powder to taste
salt to taste
the kernels from 3 cobs

Combine in a bowl, refrigerate, and allow to sit overnight for the flavors to mingle.  Enjoy with tortilla chips.  1/2 c. = 1 WW points+
