Cover your basic grilled chicken with a zesty herb topping for an anything-but-average meal. It also works well over steak or fish. Ingredients:
1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves |
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted |
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil |
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. To prepare gremolata, place mint, pine nuts, rind, and garlic in a mini chopper; process just until combined. Add 4 teaspoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt; process to combine. Set aside.
2. To prepare chicken, heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush 2 teaspoons olive oil evenly over chicken; sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; let stand 5 minutes. Serve gremolata with chicken.
