Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 cup pear tomatoes, sliced in rounds
1 kirby cucumber, unpeeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced
3 pepperoncini peppers, stemmed and minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground black pepper
4 chicken paillards (scaloppini), about 4 ounces each
Olive oil spray
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear to a coarse paste. Put the garlic paste in a large bowl and stir in the olive oil and lemon juice. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, pepperoncini, and dill and toss. Give a couple of generous grinds of black pepper. Toss again, and set aside.
  • Preheat a grill pan or nonstick skillet to medium high. Spray the chicken paillards lightly with the olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken, in batches if necessary, to avoid crowding the pan, turning once, until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Place each paillard on a plate and serve topped with the tomato-cucumber salad.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some lemon zest to the chicken marinade, and I used a balsamic vinaigrette instead of the olive oil and vinegar dressing.

I would not recommend this recipe. There are better grilled chicken recipes out there.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the salad was bland.

This is the best grilled chicken recipe I've ever tried. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, and the salad is light and refreshing.

This chicken recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the tomato-cucumber salad was a refreshing complement. I'll definitely be making this again.
