Grilled Chicken Cutlets With Squash And Tomatoes Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH LEMON AND BLACK PEPPER AND ARUGULA-TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the shallot and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large baking dish.
• Pound each chicken breast between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap with a rolling pin or a mallet to 1/8-inch thickness. Add the chicken to the baking dish, turn to coat, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Heat your grill to high.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and season on both sides with salt. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and just cooked through.
• While the chicken is grilling, combine the arugula, tomatoes, and onion, if using, in a large bowl. Toss with the vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place each chicken cutlet on a large plate and divide the arugula-tomato salad on top. Top the salad with a few shavings of cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHARRED CORN AND SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together lemon zest and juice, garlic, shallot, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped herbs.
• Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper; drizzle lightly with olive oil. Brush grates with vegetable oil. Grill chicken, turning once, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts registers 160°F, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to dish and turn to coat with lemon mixture; tent with foil. Cover grill; return to medium-high heat.
• Drizzle vegetables lightly with olive oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred in places and squash is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Let corn cool slightly, then strip kernels from cobs and transfer to a serving platter with squash, cheese, and herb leaves. Top with chicken; spoon more lemon mixture over top, if desired.

Add spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and cook, stirring, until just wilted. Stir in feta; season with salt and pepper. Serve, alongside chicken topped with caper sauce, and bread and butter.
