Thought I would add a few more recipes if nobody minds....
I made this up this summer.
Call it chicken Bruschetta?
This was for 2 adults and 3 (2 very small) kids.
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (marinated in whatever you like that's italian-ish)
1 can diced tomatoes (I'd have used the fire-roasted if I'd had them)strained for 10 min or so
1 small onion
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 TB or so EVOO (I didn't measure)
A very large handful fresh basil (I had genovese and lemon basil today)
a little fresh oregano (I only had a little to pick!)
both herbs roughly chopped
sprinkle of salt / pepper
sliced mozz. cheese (woulda used fresh here if I had some)
sprinkle of parm cheese
grill chicken 'til just about, if not all the way done.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil, soften onion in it, add garlic, cook 1-2 min until garlic is soft, remove from heat.
Add drained tomatoes and basil, salt and pepper.
When chicken is about done, put it on a piece of foil on the grill. Top w/ tomato mixture and as much cheese as you like, return grill cover until cheese is melted.
I'd have put parm cheese in tomato mixture also, but I didn't have much to use today.
I'm not one to toot my own horn, matter of fact I hate it, but this was SO GOOD!!!
I served it with plain rice and drizzled the juice left on the foil over the rice.
Lots of room to play with this one.... but my kids all ate it, that's all I need!
Edit to add, I have an abnormal love for basil and garlic.... I used ALOT of both, you may want to adjust them.
