Dill Chicken Paillards With Tomato Dill Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .
• Pound chicken 1/4 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin.
• Whisk together oil, dill, shallot, mustard, and vinegar in a large bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then add to dill mixture, turning to coat.
• Toss tomatoes with reserved dill mixture and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Grill chicken, turning once, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Serve topped with relish.

Steps:

• Butterfly chicken breasts and set aside. In a food processor combine the dill and parsley and pulse until finely chopped. Reserve 1/4 cup of the herb mixture for spread, set aside.
• In a plastic bag set in a medium bowl, combine remaining herb mixture, half the lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Place chicken in a plastic bag, add marinade, seal, and massage to distribute marinade evenly on the chicken. Refrigerate 1 hour, flipping once halfway through.
• Meanwhile to make the herb spread, in a small bowl mix together remaining herb mixture, remaining lemon juice, lemon zest, sour cream, mayonnaise, pepperoncini, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from bag being careful not to remove herbs. Season with salt and pepper and cook on grill, turning once, until juices run clear, approximately 6 minutes on each side. Remove to a cutting board and cut each breast in half.
• To assemble sandwich: cut ciabatta pieces in half horizontally, slather one side of bread with dill-pepperoncini spread. Place chicken on other slice, top with baby greens, and finish with the piece of bread covered with dill-pepperoncini sauce.

Steps:

• Cut off steam end of green tomatoes.
• Coarsely chop green tomatoes, celery and bell peppers in food processor.
• Combine the water vinegar and pickling salt and bring to a boil, add the chopped vegetables and return just to a boil.
• Drain, reserving the liquid and loosely pack vegetables to 6 pint jars.

• Allow relish to sit for 4 weeks before using.

Steps:

• Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in flour; season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• In a skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat; cook chicken, turning once, for about 6 minutes or until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
• Remove from the pan and keep warm.

• Stir in the dill, chives, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir any accumulated juices from the chicken back into the pan; pour the sauce over the chicken.
