Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

When you're throwing together fajitas, you need a good marinade. This zesty marinade has flavors from all over the map including soy sauce, Italian dressing, and honey that add loads of flavor to the chicken.

1 cup Italian salad dressing
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned meat tenderizer
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (pizza flakes)
1 ounce honey
1 teaspoon minced garlic (jar is OK)
2 dashes Louisiana hot sauce (or to taste)
1 handful fresh cilantro, mostly leaves
Blend all ingredients in food processor and marinate chicken breasts at least several hours or preferably overnight. I pound boneless chicken breasts to even thickness and tenderize meat by punching small holes.
Grill about 8-10 minutes being careful not to overcook and toughen meat.
Warm extra marinade on the side for sauce or dipping.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Wow! I have never bothered to write a review for any recipe, but had to speak up for this one. This is simply one of the best marinades I have ever used & my wife and I have been cooking for 25 years. You will not want your chicken grilled any other way. Fantastic!
