Hello Everyone!!!
It's been a while since my last post......it's been a whirlwind in my neck of the woods between work, school and church activities. I get dizzy just thinking about it.
4th of July is coming and what better way than to celebrate America's independence than having a cook-out with burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, macaroni salad, watermelon and apple pie?
But......this year, I am doing something a bit different. I am serving a Greek inspired meal in recognition of one of the many groups of our immigrant forefathers and mothers, who made America what it is today.
Servings: 6
Time: Approx. 1 hour
Difficulty: Easy
For the Chicken
6 chicken breasts, boned, skinned and cut into 4 pieces each
Liberal sprinkle of Montreal Steak seasoning, yes folks....this is what I used.
1/3 cup olive oil
Place all the pieces of chicken in a large bowl and liberally sprinkle on the seasoning and the olive oil, stir to coat each piece of chicken
Heat a grill pan on medium heat, place pieces of chicken on the pan, about 2 inches apart. this gives them plenty of room to cook without being crowded. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Zatziki Sauce - with lots of fragrant olive oil
4 cups Greek style yogurt, strained
2 cups sour cream, strained
1/2 cup cream
1 cup, finely diced English cucumber
4 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup very good olive oil
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Mix all the ingredients together and serve with the chicken.
I will be serving this with my Greek inspired orzo pasta salad and Mediterranean flat bread. And, for dessert.....baklava, of course. OPA!!!!
From the heart of my purple kitchen to you,
Enjoy!!!
S.
