Grilled chicken is a summer staple, and here's a welcome new accompaniment. The colorful relish is cool, crisp, and juicy, with a touch of heat.

Fresh mint leaves give the dish an herbal fragrance and finish.

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 clove garlic, grated
6 pieces skinned and deboned chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch strips (about 1 1/2 pounds)
3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons quality olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or white balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 English cucumber, chopped
1 clove garlic, grated
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 small red onion, minced
Handful fresh parsley leaves, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup tahini paste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt
Four 6-inch store-bought white pita pockets
Olive oil

Steps:

  • For the shawarma: Mix the cumin, paprika, allspice, chili powder and garlic together. Place the chicken inside a resealable plastic bag with the olive oil. Add the spice mixture and rub in until fully incorporated. Seal that bag and place it into the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • After marinating, use the skewers to pierce the pieces of chicken through the center. Slide the pieces down leaving enough room for you to hold the skewer, about 3 pieces of chicken per skewer. Continue this process until chicken is all skewered. Sprinkle with salt and place on a hot oiled grill top for 4 minutes per side, or 8 minutes total.
  • For the relish: Mix the oil, vinegar, oregano, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, onion, parsley and some salt and pepper.
  • For the tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the tahini paste, olive oil, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt.
  • To serve, fill the pitas with the grilled chicken and serve with the cucumber relish and tahini sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SPICY CUCUMBERS



Grilled Chicken Breasts With Spicy Cucumbers image

Light and refreshing, yet packed with flavor from herbs, jalapeños and garlic, this is an easy, after-work meal that can be endlessly adapted to suit what you've got on hand. Substitute other thinly sliced raw vegetables for the cucumbers (zucchini, carrot, radishes, celery, cabbage, fennel), and other herbs for the cilantro and parsley (dill, basil, mint). Just be sure not to overcook the flattened chicken, which can happen in an instant.

Categories     weekday, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
2 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling

1/3 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, more to taste
3 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (about 2 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Place a chicken breast between a layer of parchment paper or plastic wrap and use a mallet, rolling pin or the flat side of a heavy knife to pound to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Repeat with remaining breasts.
  • Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Place in a bowl and toss with lime zest, garlic and oil. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH CUCUMBER RELISH



Grilled Chicken Breast with Cucumber Relish image

To ensure the boneless, skinless chicken breasts stay nice and juicy in this Grilled Chicken Breast with Cucumber Relish recipe, pound them to an even thickness and sprinkle with salt about half an hour before grilling. This step gives the salt a chance to create tiny pockets in the meat for the juices to collect into as it cooks. A zesty, Thai-inspired cucumber relish that you can chop up while you wait adds a cooling crunch and splash of color to the finished dish.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless (6-ounces each)
1 large tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced (green tops only)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
salt, to taste
black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
creole seasoning
1 bunch arugula, tough stems removed, washed and spun dry
8 slices Italian bread (1/2-inch thick diagonal)
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, peeled and crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to high (500 F). Clean the grill while it is heating with a metal wire grill brush and season with a tightly rolled kitchen cloth coated in vegetable or olive oil.
  • Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of plastic wrap. With the flat side of a meat mallet or the side of a cleaver, working from the outer edges in, gently pound to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Refrigerate, still between the plastic wrap, for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, 2 tablespoons of the extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the 5 teaspoons remaining oil with the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pinch freshly ground black pepper and stir to blend.
  • Remove one piece of the plastic wrap from each chicken breast. Rub about 3/4 teaspoon of the olive oil mixture on the exposed side and season lightly with Creole seasoning.
  • Carefully place the chicken, seasoned side down, on the hot grill and quickly peel away the remaining piece of plastic wrap. With a spoon, dab the remaining olive oil mixture onto the exposed chicken and rub evenly over the meat. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, turn, and cook until the chicken is firm to the touch, about 2 minutes.
  • To serve, place 1 chicken breast in the center of each of 4 large plates and divide the relish among the plates, spooning it partially onto and to the side of the chicken breasts. Arrange the arugula on the sides of the plates with 2 slices of bruschetta. Serve immediately.
  • Bruschetta - Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of the bread with oil.
  • Place the bread slices on the grill and cook until marked and lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the grill and rub one side of the bread with the crushed garlic.
  • Serve immediately or at room temperature. Makes 8 slices.
