It's a great day for Grilling...

I love when the weather is nice, not too hot, and you can grill your dinner.  When I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner tonight, he mentioned bbq chicken and I kind of went, eh...because it seemed so ordinary and as you know, I don't like to cook "ordinary" so I decided I would make my own barbecue sauce. It rocked...so here is how to turn the ordinary into anything but....

Zesty Barbecue Chicken
Serves 4

4 boneless chicken breasts
2 1/2 cups Ketchup
1/4 cup of Splenda brown sugar
1/4 cup of chopped onion
2 TBS Worschetshire sauce
1 teaspoon of garlic paste (or garlic powder)
1 teaspoon of hot pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon of red pepper
1/8 teaspoon of black pepper
2 teaspoons of liquid smoke

Mix altogether in a saucepan.  Cook for at least an hour. Season chicken with McCormicks Montreal Chicken Seasoning and grill until cooked through. Baste the chicken with barbecue sauce and continue heating on grill, flip chicken and baste other side with sauce and heat.  Remove and serve.

If you want to keep this a really low carb meal, I would recommend making some Asparagus on the grill.
Grilled Asparagus
Serves 4

1 bunch of thin green asparagus
2 TBS of olive oil
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt and Pepper to taste

Place asparagus on grate or foil boat, drizzle olive oil over asparagus, press garlic over asparagus, and season with salt and pepper.  Cook asparagus until tender 10-15 minutes.
