STUFFED GRILLED CHICKEN
"As a single working mom with two kids, I look for recipes that are fast and simple," writes Candi VanMeveren from Lamberton, Minnesota. "My family loves this one and it gets me out of the kitchen fast." TIP: This recipe is just as delicious broiled, Candi adds. Place chicken on foil-lined pan (for easy cleanup) about 4 inches from heat for 12 minutes on each side.

Steps:
- Puree olives with 2 tablespoons olive oil in processor. Gently slide hand under skin of chicken breasts to loosen, forming pocket and keeping skin attached. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons olive puree under skin of each chicken breast. Fasten skin with toothpicks to hold olive filling in place. Brush chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with minced rosemary. Place chicken breasts in shallow dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill chicken until golden and cooked through, turning frequently and brushing chicken with more olive oil if necessary to prevent sticking, about 20 minutes.
GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PARSLEY-OLIVE SAUCE
Boneless, skinless thighs are a boon to grilling because they're almost impossible to overcook. Breasts are a bit trickier because they are low in fat and can dry out quickly. But this technique works beautifully for both. If you have the time, dry brine in advance (see Tips). When ready to eat, grill the chicken longer on the first side to get a little color (if the breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them until they're even first), finish cooking on the other side, then plunge it into a bright sauce for up to 30 minutes for added juiciness. The sauce here is made with parsley, olives, chile, lemon juice and small bits of lemon rind for tartness and texture, but adjust flavorings as you wish. Serve the chicken with plenty of sauce, and perhaps a salad, grilled bread or vegetables. (Save some for the next day's lunch, too; the smokiness will develop as it sits.)

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tips.)
- While the grill's heating, pat the chicken dry. If the breasts are uneven in their thickness, pound until even with a heavy skillet or meat mallet. Set aside to air-dry. In a rimmed dish or wide, shallow bowl, stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, parsley, olives, olive brine and chile. Using the small holes on a box grater, grate 2 teaspoons zest from the lemon. Add to the bowl, squeeze in half the lemon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons juice), and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges for serving.
- When you're ready to grill, season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, then lightly coat with olive oil. Take the chicken, sauce, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked in olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the chicken until well browned on one side and it easily releases from the grates, 4 to 6 minutes. (If flare-ups occur, move the chicken to an area of the grill where there are no flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) Flip and cook until the breasts register 155 degrees in the thickest part and the thighs register 165 degrees, 2 to 3 minutes for breasts and 4 to 5 minutes for thighs.
- Transfer the chicken to the sauce and turn to coat. Let rest for at least 5 minutes and up to 30. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
GRILLED STUFFED CHICKEN WITH OLIVE & CAPER PUREE
Steps:
- Preparation of Olive Caper Puree In a blender or food processor add olives, capers, garlic, crushed red pepper, black pepper, salt, parsley, and olive oil. Blend to make puree and make sure that the mixture is uniform. You may add more olive oil sparingly so mixture can blend better. Stuffing and Grilling Chicken Stuff each pocket of the chicken liberally with olive & caper puree. Close pocket with toothpicks. Brush olive oil over the entire outer surface of the chicken, then add salt and pepper sparingly to the newly brushed olive oil. Then grill your your chicken over medium heat until cooked and serve (remember to remove the toothpicks). Enjoy your meal!!
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the grill.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by making a small incision in the thickest part of the breast. The juices should run clear, with no pink or red tinge.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with the olive caper puree every few minutes while it is grilling.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through.
- To make the olive caper puree, simply combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
- You can also add other ingredients to the olive caper puree, such as sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or fresh herbs.
