Marinated Chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli

Marinating chicken is a great way to impart bold flavors into something that is usually pretty bland. For my marinade, I combined ketchup, mustard, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano. I marinated the chicken for an hour and a half, but the more time the marinate the chicken the more flavorful the chicken will be. When it is nice outside, I like to grill. Sometimes the weather does not cooperate so I cooked the chicken in a frying pan with a little bit of oil on the bottom of the pan. You can also use a George Foreman Grill if you have one. For a side dish, I decided to mix things up a bit. Steamed or boiled broccoli is pretty bland, but not when you roast it. I cut up some potatoes and mixed them with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. I roasted the potatoes for 30 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. After thirty minutes, I added the chopped broccoli and roasted for another 30 minutes. Roasting your vegetables is just as good as steaming or boiling them. For the chicken I cooked it about 6 minutes per side on medium to medium-high heat. I used the reserve marinade for a sauce. To do this, I put the marinade into a sauce pot and brought it to a boil. By bringing the marinade to a boil. By bringing the marinade to a boil, it reassures me that none of the germs are present from the raw chicken. Enjoy your own marinated chicken and the possibilities are endless.
