So friends, here you get the bonus...Double Recipe of the Week!!! Does it get any better than that you ask? The answer to that question is Yes - Once you experience this melt in your mouth goodness, you will wish it was Double Recipe of the Week every day :-)
First up we have a DELICIOUS and NUTRITIOUS:
Arugula Sauté with Garlic and Olive Oil
This recipe serves: 4
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
4 cups arugula, washed
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
1. Heat the olive oil in a 10" skillet over medium-low heat.
2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Add the arugula, salt and pepper and toss with the olive oil and garlic until the arugula just begins to wilt. Remove from the skillet and serve.
Serving Size: about 1 cup
This makes an excellent side dish with Steak, Chicken or Seafood.
And lastly, while the weather is still perfect for grilling:
Chimichurri Chicken
This recipe serves 4
Ingredients:
1 bunch flatleaf parsley, washed and stemmed
6 cloves garlic, peeled and quartered
1 cup cooled chicken broth
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup distilled vinegar
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 5 ounces each
1. Prepare the chimichurri. Finely chop the parsley and garlic in a food processor/blender. Blend in the remaining ingredients, adding the salt and pepper to taste. The chimichurri should be highly seasoned.
2. Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour half of the chimichurri over them and marinate for 1 hour, turning a couple of times. Preheat the grill to high.
3. Grill the chicken breasts for about 4 to 6 minutes per side. (Rotate the breasts 90° after 2 minutes to give you a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.) Serve the grilled chicken with the remaining chimichurri on the side.
Serving Size: 1 chicken breast
Here is a bonus tip...
To keep your chicken ultra moist, consider brining in a Kosher Salt/Water Solution for atleast an hour before you begin the full dinner preparation
