Grilled Chicken Marbella Panzanella Recipes

GRILLED PANZANELLA

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. Brush the grilling rack with olive oil.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, mustard, vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Place the cucumber, tomato, basil and capers in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss together. Set aside.
• When the grill is ready, brush 1 side of the onion slices and the peppers with olive oil. Place them, olive oil side down, on the grill and cook for 4 minutes. Brush the other side with olive oil, turn them over and continue cooking an additional 4 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the grill and place on a cutting board. Slice the peppers 1/2-inch thick, separate the onion rings and add them both to the cucumber mixture.
• Brush the bread slices on both sides with olive oil and toast them on the grill until golden. Add them to the cucumber mixture. Pour the reserved vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss together. Serve warm.

CHICKEN MARBELLA, UPDATED

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the marinade. (You can also place the chicken and marinade in a 2-gallon plastic storage bag and squeeze out the air to make sure the chicken is fully covered with the marinade.) Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally to be sure the marinade is getting into all of the chicken pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken, skin side up, along with the marinade in one layer in a large (15-by-18-inch) roasting pan, sprinkle with the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, and pour the wine around (not over!) the chicken. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken is 145 degrees F. Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Transfer the chicken, prunes, and olives to a serving platter, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot with the pan juices.

CHICKEN MARBELLA

Steps:

• Arrange the chicken in a large baking dish and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, dates, olives, capers with their brine, parsley, oregano, garlic and bay leaves in a large bowl. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken. Flip and rotate the chicken to coat it completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Let the chicken sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.
• Arrange the chicken pieces so that they are all skin-side up. Spoon the marinade from the bottom of the dish over the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar. Pour the wine around the chicken. Bake, basting every 10 to 15 minutes with the pan juices, until the chicken is brown on top, the juices run clear when pierced and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, 50 to 60 minutes. Baste the chicken with its juices, then transfer it to a large platter. Spoon the olives, capers and dates over the chicken with a slotted spoon, only including a little of the sauce. Serve the remaining sauce on the side, if desired.
