Fast Dinner

Last night I got off work a little early.  Our system went down, which meant I could not do any of my work.  I decided to leave on that factor, instead of staring at my computer screen and being frustrated.  Working at a hotel is always fun. Since I got off early, that meant more time to prepare for dinner.  Last night I had planned a simple dinner (lean protein combined with vegetables).
We had chicken breast and asparagus.  I cooked the asparagus, sadly, a little too long this time.  Too spice up the chicken I marinated it, in "Grill Mates" Chipolte Pepper flavor. 

The packet was only $1, 10 calories.  For this marinade it requires 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and the chicken.  Once mixed, the chicken needs to soak for about 15 minutes in the mixture.  I think next time I will try for 30 minutes.  The chicken did retain the flavor, but I think 30 minutes will retain to the fullest.
