4 thin-cut chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
salt and pepper
1 Lemon
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about 1/4 inch thick.
In a plastic ziplock bag combine the oils and the cayenne, Italian seasonings, and garlic powder. Add the chicken and close, then massage the bag until all the chicken is coated with the oil and seasonings. Refrigerate the bag for at least an hour.
Just before serving, heat a stovetop grill until it is screaming hot. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and grill about 3 or 4 minutes on each side. (Cut into the thickest piece to check for doneness). Remove from the grill and squeeze fresh lemon over the chicken. Serve this with Sweet Potatoes Au Gratin.
this makes my mouth water – it sounds lovely
I tried this and the Sweet Potatoes Au Gratin recipe. I liked them very much and will include them in my regulare meals rotation.
I’ve been looking for a new chicken recipe — timing is perfect!
I do enjoy the ’screaming hot’ bit. You have such a way with words Lori and this sounds delicious as a combo with the Sweet Potatoes dish. People will think I have gone gourmet and been mixing with Nigella or something
