Warm weather = grilling in our house! Since bathing suit season is around the corner, I wanted to find some healthy recipes that do not sacrifice flavor. I made the tapenade recipe and used the sauce for two grilled chicken breasts, even though the recipe is originally written for four. If you are looking for a light and tasty grilled weeknight meal, this is the one for you! Enjoy!
Grilled Lemon Chicken with Mediterranean Tapenade
Adapted from Bon Appetit
Tapenade waiting for the chicken.
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup pitted kalmata olives, finely chopped
3 tablespoons of red onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup of crumbled feta
A splash of olive oil
2 pinches of dried oregano
Fresh lemon
Salt and pepper
2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Directions
Mix the tomatoes, olives, onions, feta, balsamic, olive oil, and oregano, in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and allow to rest. Prepare the grill to medium-high heat. Brush chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a healthy squeeze of lemon juice on both sides. Grill chicken until cooked through, approximately 7 minutes per side.
The final dish- really tasty!
