Grilled Balsamic Chicken

Grilled balsamic chicken is a delicious tangy dish that is best eaten with vegetables. You may also bake the chicken instead of grilling them if desired. Do not overcook, so that the meat stays tender and juicy.

14 pcs chicken thighs, deboned or chicken thigh fillets

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Place the chicken thighs in a shallow baking dish. After, prepare the balsamic marinade by combining the oil, the mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and then pour it over the chicken. Marinate it for at least thirty minutes or up to four hours. Grease the grill rack. Cook the chicken in batches, skin side down for five minutes on each side or until the juices run clear and they are soft. Transfer the balsamic chicken to a serving platter or split them into individual plates. Serve immediately.

Grilled Chicken and Mushroom Pizza

August 31, 2011 By Delia

It is raining cats and dogs once again and it is best to stay indoors, which is why pizza is the perfect food to prepare for lazy days on the couch while watching television. It is also a great party food or side. Even kids have fun assembling pizzas, although I am not sure that this flavor will appeal to them. It is always enjoyable to make it in different shapes and sizes, depending on the occasion. One thing is for sure though, I like the crust thin.

Grilled chicken and mushroom pizza has a barbecue sauce base to give this dish an aromatic flavor. I personally prefer hickory barbecue sauce because of its smoky flavor, but any type will do. You also have the option to buy prepared pizza crusts, but I am also recommending a homemade recipe. Adding some bell peppers to this recipe can also contribute more taste, while serving it with lettuce can give it some crunchiness and color too.

 

Ingredients:

1 basic pizza dough

1/4 cup tomato sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup barbecue sauce

2 pieces chicken fillet

1 large tomato, seeded and sliced

1 1/2 cups fresh button mushrooms, coarsely chopped

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

 

Marinate the chicken in half of the barbecue sauce and preheat the oven at 250°C.soft and light brown.

Cook the chicken in a stove top grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until light brown. Once the chicken fillets are cooked, transfer it to a plate and let it cool. After, shred the grilled chicken or slice it into cubes.

While grilling the chicken, heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes or until it becomes golden brown.

Place the pizza dough on a floured surface and roll it out. Put it on a greased baking tray. Spread the tomato sauce mixture over the dough. Top it with chicken, tomatoes, mushroom and cheese. Bake it for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the cheese bubbles.

Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with the remaining barbecue sauce. slice before serving. Serve immediately.

Portuguese Style Barbecued Chicken

July 21, 2011 By Delia

Portuguese style barbecued chicken is not for the weak of heart. This spicy chicken recipe will definitely blow your mind away. The sweet and sourness of the pineapple juice marinade is just right, making the chicken tasty. Don’t forget to squeeze some lemon juice before taking a bite.

 

Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 1kg chickens

2 cups sweetened pineapple juice

5-7 small fresh red chili, roughly chopped

2 long red chili, roughly chopped

3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon sea salt

Lemon wedges and hot potato chips for serving

 

Prepare the chili sauce by combining all the chili and the garlic in a food processor or blender. Process it for 30 seconds until the chili is finely chopped. Scrape the sides using a spatula and then add the lemon juice, oil and salt. Process it for another 30 seconds until well combined. Transfer the sauce to a jar or sealed container.

Put a whole chicken on a flat work surface or chopping board. Make sure that its breast side is up. Cut the breast in half using poultry shears by cutting the breast bone. Press the chicken down to lay it flat. Cut out the back bone and discard. Remove the breast bones as well and then tuck in the wings. Pat the chicken dry using a paper towel. Repeat the same process with the remaining chicken. If you do not feel like cutting, you can purchase chicken thighs instead.

Place the chickens on a shallow dish and marinate them in pineapple juice for 15 minutes.

Preheat the grill on high. With a sharp knife make some cuts on the chicken. Reserve 3 tablespoons of chili sauce. Brush the chicken with the remaining sauce.

Reduce the heat of the grill and then grill the chicken skin side up. Cook it for 15-18 minutes. Brush it occasionally with sauce, so that it will not dry. Turn at least once. Pierce the chicken with a fork to see if it is cooked. The juices must be clear and the meat soft.

Place the cooked chicken on a plate and cove it loosely with foil. Let it stand for 5 minutes. After, brush the chicken with the remaining chili sauce. Serve it immediately with lemon wedges and potato chips.
