Grilled Chicken And Romaine With Caper Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Soak 8 wooden skewers in water, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing: Mix the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, shallot, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Drizzle the cut sides of each piece of romaine with about 1 teaspoon of the dressing. Add the chicken to the bowl with the remaining dressing and toss. Add the breadcrumbs and toss to coat. Thread the chicken onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece. Grill the chicken skewers, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the romaine, turning once, until marked and slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the romaine to plates and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt. Serve with the chicken skewers and sprinkle with the parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium to medium-high heat. Brush the grate of the grill with canola oil just before you grill the chicken. Season the chicken with lemon pepper and put on the grill. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the capers and white wine and reduce by half. Whisk in the mustard, and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream.
• Arrange the chicken on a platter and dollop with the creamy sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat barbecue (medium-high heat). Puree vinegar and next 4 ingredients in small processor until almost smooth. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Combine chicken and 1/4 cup dressing in medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Place romaine, cut side up, on baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing; turn to coat. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Grill romaine until charred and slightly wilted on all sides, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer 1 chicken breast and 1 romaine spear to each of 4 plates. Drizzle chicken with remaining dressing, sprinkle generously with cheese, and serve.

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Put the minced garlic into a bowl, and add the minced anchovies. Using a whisk, mix and mash these ingredients together until they form a paste. Add the mayonnaise and the mustard and whisk. Add the olive oil, whisking all the while, and then the vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Make the salad: Drizzle the olive oil over the quartered heads of lettuce. Lightly grill these directly over the hot coals for 15 to 20 seconds on each side, until they are lightly golden, then remove to the cool side of the grill. Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, paint the dressing over the lettuce, making sure to get dressing between the leaves. Sprinkle the lettuce with Parmesan and cover the grill for 1 or 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the lettuce to soften further. Remove lettuce to a platter and serve.
