Moroccan Chicken and NEW patio furniture!

We have just had a wonderful Friday evening meal. We are LOVING having a decent patio and yard. I picked out some outdoor furniture this week and it was delivered today, so we ate on the patio.

I decided to do this recipe for Moroccan Chicken - I really like yogurt marinades these days.

When I went to the store last night to buy chicken, two breasts at Kroger were $13. Jawdrop. So we had boneless, skinless thighs! I began this morning by making the marinade - yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. The chicken sat in this concoction all day.

When Todd got home, we started the grill and had some appetizers (goat cheese, stilton, olives, and my favorite Wasa crackers)...

And I had a little Sangria from Target. I give this two thumbs up - it's fruity and very light for summer. If you like Sangria, give it a try. It's a little sweet, but not too much.

And we ate outside! I LOVE IT! I also made an old favorite...Cucumber, Mango, and Black Bean Salad as a relish for the chicken. When mangoes are in season, this is just a delicious side. We also had green beans and potatoes. I loved the chicken marinade - my only tweak is that it could have used a bit more spice.
