Frugal Menu Mamas

This week’s freezer recipe is from the “Don’t Panic, Dinner’s in the Freezer” book.  I especially like this recipe because it takes no cooking before freezing.  I prepared it and got it in the freezer a month or so ago and we finally tried it last week.  It was super easy, delicious, and full of flavor.  It was a 4 thumbs up from our family.  In fact, it was so good that we all cleaned our plates.  See?!

It was so yummy and so easy, just try it!  And by the way, it says to grill it.  We are without a grill at the moment, so I just sauteed it in a skillet.                   Without further ado:

Buttermilk Herb Chicken Breasts

1 cup buttermilk

1 Tbs. Dijon mustard

1 Tbs. honey

1 Tbs. fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1/2 tsp. dried sage

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. salt

8 boneless split chicken breasts

To prepare: Mix together buttermilk with mustard, honey, and seasonings.  Place chicken breasts in freezer bag.  Pour marinade over chicken breasts.  Freeze.

To serve: Thaw chicken, discarding marinade.  Grill over medium heat until chicen is tender and juices run clear.  (I put the chicken in a skillet and poured the marinade over and sauteed.)

Since I am on the road this week and it is grilling season, I chose to post a delicious marinade for pork chops.  Hubby and I learned it when we were first married from my friend Dawn in Florida….thanks Dawn!  You can do whole pork chops or it tastes great as kabobs too!  Enjoy!
