Dress Up that Chicken!
|
There are so many ways to keep a chicken dinner from becoming a boring routine. Here are a few ideas to add variety to your menus when grilling or broiling chicken breasts:
- Marinate the chicken in lime juice and cumin before cooking. Serve with salsa.
- Top cooked chicken with sliced or whole sautéed mushrooms and thyme.
- Add caramelized onion rings (cooked until golden).
- Serve it with a homemade fresh fruit relish, such as raspberries heated in a little balsamic vinegar, or grilled fresh fruit slices.
- Reduce dry white wine by half and add garlic, lemon juice, and pepper. Pour over the cooked chicken.
- Make a paste of coarse mustard, garlic and onion. Spread it over the chicken when you turn it to cook the second side.
- Make a quick tomato sauce with chopped fresh tomato, minced garlic, and minced fresh basil.
- Top it with a sauce made from minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, some dry sherry, and a little reduced-sodium soy sauce.
