Ingredients

Preparation

Turn the Grill onto high to heat up, then when grill is ready, turn down to low.

Sprinkle Cherchies Pepper Pizzazz Seasoning generously over both sides of the steak, pressing the seasoning blend into the meat.  While grill is firing up, allow meat to sit out for a bit to absorb the flavors.

Grill steaks for about 5-8 minutes on one side, depending on thickness and your "pink"  preference, and then flip the steaks over to finish grilling.  Take steaks off grill and allow them to rest for about 8 minutes.

But then it gets even better...ADD BUTTER! You heard me right.

After the meat has rested, slice it up!  Serve it with our Strawberry Salad, and you have a lovely warm weather (or cold;) meal.  Enjoy!

Peachy Salsa Chicken Recipe

Peach and cheese?  Crazy!  Who would have thought that Peach salsa and cheese would make for an easy and tasty dish?  I tried something new, and voila!

This is a very quick and easy recipe, perfect for those busy nights, but elegant enough for guests.

Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place chicken breasts (one at a time) in a resealable plastic bag (or between two sheets of plastic wrap), and pound with rolling pin (very therapeudic) to about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle each side of chicken breast with garlic seasoning and pepper.  In a large skillet, cook chicken breasts for a couple of minutes on each side.  

Spray 9x13" casserole dish with cooking spray, and place chicken into pan.  

Smother each chicken breast with 1/3 cup Cherchies Vidalia Onion Peach Salsa.  Cook chicken in oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle cheese over chicken breasts. Cook chicken an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted, and remove from oven.  Use remaining salsa as a garnish for chicken breasts.  Serve with Spanish rice and a salad for a lovely meal.

Enjoy!

Honey’n Lime Grilled Shrimp Recipe

Honey’n Lime Grilled Shrimp Recipe

This recipe is so easy, you'll wonder why you didn't have this before!  The combination of lime, cilantro and honey will make your taste buds sing.  A perfect meal or appetizer, or for whenever you feel the need to fire up the grill.  Serve with a salad and fruit...easy peasy dinner!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp.) or more to taste Cherchies Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup honey

  • 1 lb. shrimp, cleaned and deveined (Frozen cooked shrimp, defrosted would work fine too)

  • 1/2 lime, plus the zest

  • Microplane or zester (Don't have one? Don't fret. A vegetable peeler and knife will do the trick) * See our cooking tip!

  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine honey, lime zest, lime juice, and Cherchies Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning.  Set aside.

Spray grill lightly with cooking spray.  Turn on grill to high, then down to low when ready to cook. Meanwhile, skewer shrimp onto wooden skewers.  (I find it is easier to grill shrimp this way).  Brush honey-lime mixture onto shrimp.  Put shrimp onto grill, and cook for only a few minutes on each side, until shrimp turn pink (If using fresh shrimp).  For frozen cooked shrimp, cook for a few minutes on each side. Serve on a pretty platter with lettuce, and you have an easy appetizer, lunch, or dinner.
