Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Chicken Stock to Make 1 1/2 Quarts, or low-sodium canned
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
2 red bell peppers
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, oil, stock, and garlic. Reserve 3 tablespoons. Add the chicken, turning to coat, and marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a stove-top griddle or outdoor grill. Grill the peppers, turning frequently, until charred and wrinkled, about 10 minutes. Remove to parchment paper to cool. Peel over the parchment paper, reserving the juices. Cut the peppers into 1/4-inch strips and place in a bowl. Stir in the collected juices and the reserved marinade. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the chicken until the juices run clear when pricked at the thickest point, about 4 minutes per side. Arrange the chicken over the Caramelized Corn with Shallots and spoon the pepper mixture on top. Garnish with the basil.

CHICKEN WITH BASIL AND RED PEPPERS



Chicken With Basil and Red Peppers image

This recipe is from "Main Course Classics" which has some fabulous recipes. I changed it only slightly and was very happy with the results. There are alot of Thai style chicken basil recipes on here but I didn't see this particular one when searching, it is extremely simple and very good. It can be presented very nicely with fresh basil leaves and a few fresh diced red peppers but I could just eat it straight out of the wok with a spatula. I hope you enjoy this.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD AND RED PEPPER



Grilled Chicken with Mustard and Red Pepper image

_Poulet Grillé à la Diable_ In French cooking, any meat or poultry seasoned with mustard and hot pepper and then coated with breadcrumbs is called _à la diable,_ since the devil, or _diable,_ is associated with anything hot and fiery. Cafés and bistros all over Paris offer versions of this classic. I like to make mine with a combination of sharp Dijon and coarse-grain Dijon mustard, and with a good hit of spice, usually what the French call _piments langues d'oiseaux,_ or bird's-tongue peppers. This is a great picnic dish as well, and I often make it for our lunch when we take the train to Provence. When we eat at home, I serve this chicken with steamed rice or sautéed potatoes and a green salad.

Provided by Patricia Wells

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons French Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon coarse-grain French Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon finely ground dried hot red pepper
2 eggs
6 chicken legs, thighs attached
1/2 cup fine homemade breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine the mustards and red pepper; stir to blend.
  • 3. Place the eggs in a shallow platter, and whisk lightly with a fork to blend.
  • 4. Using a pastry brush, brush the mustard mixture all over the chicken legs and thighs. Dip them in the eggs, coating evenly on all sides. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, coating as evenly as possible. Place the chicken pieces side by side in a roasting pan. Dot with the butter. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, basting frequently. The chicken is done when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer the pieces to a wire rack to help firm up the coating, about 5 minutes.
  • 5. Serve hot or cold.
  • This simple dish suggests a simple red, either a Saumur-Champigny or a young Côtes-du-Rhône. I love Michel Richaud's rich reds from the village of Cairanne.

HERBED CHICKEN WITH GRILLED RED PEPPERS



Herbed Chicken with Grilled Red Peppers image

Charred bells lift a chicken dish to a flavorful new place. The chicken breasts are skinless (which cuts their fat in half) and marinated in garlic, marjoram, and olive oil, then grilled. In the mix are also potatoes with skins; their fiber-filled, most healthful part.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh marjoram leaves, plus small sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
3 small red bell peppers (5 to 6 ounces each), stems, seeds, and ribs removed, cut lengthwise into quarters
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
3/4 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grate for just 3 to 4 seconds). Stir together 2 minced garlic cloves, the marjoram, 2 teaspoons oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; season with pepper. Place chicken in a shallow dish, and coat both sides with garlic mixture. Let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Toss bell peppers with remaining garlic and 1 teaspoon oil in a medium bowl. Grill peppers, turning, until tender and blackened in places, about 15 minutes. Remove peppers from grill, and return to the bowl. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar; toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Cover potatoes with 2 inches cold water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain; return to dry saucepan until ready to use.
  • Grill the chicken, turning halfway through, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, slice potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove chicken from grill, and arrange on a serving platter with peppers and potatoes. Drizzle with remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar and oil, if desired. Garnish with marjoram sprigs; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this recipe. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to slice into strips.
  • Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to add flavor and moisture. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning. Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Make sure the vegetables are cooked to your liking. Some people prefer their vegetables crisp, while others prefer them soft. Cook the vegetables for as long as you like, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables immediately. This dish is best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken with red pepper and basil is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
