Grilled Lemon Chicken Breasts With Tomato And Olive Rice - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to brush grill
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more if needed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 bay leaves, broken in half
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
4 lemon wedges for garnish

Tomato And Olive Rice

3 cups cooked Basmati rice, warm
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, preferably Parmigiano Reggiano
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
12 grape tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
8 pitted kalamata olives, quartered lengthwise
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
kosher salt

directions

Place chicken in a shallow, non-reactive dish.

In a small bowl, stir lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Add bay leaves and garlic and pour over chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, turning several times.

While chicken is marinating, prepare rice.

When ready to grill chicken, oil a grill rack and arrange 4 to 5 inches from heat source. When grill is ready, remove chicken from marinade. Grill until chicken springs back when touched with your fingers and juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a paring knife, 4 to 5 minutes per side or longer. Watch carefully as cooking time varies with type of grill used and intensity of heat.

Top each chicken breast with a lemon wedge and serve with Tomato and Olive Rice. Squeeze lemon wedge over chicken before eating.

For Tomato And Olive Rice: Place warm cooked rice in a large mixing bowl and stir in feta and Parmesan cheeses. Parmesan will melt and be absorbed easily, while feta will remain somewhat crumbled.

Stir in dill and parsley, then add tomatoes, olives and lemon juice and mix well. Taste and season with salt as needed.
