Double Recipe of the Week!!!!

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
