LEMON AND THYME GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS
These classic herb and lemon-seasoned chicken breasts will win over fans, especially when cooked over charcoal to give them the deepest, smokiest taste. For dark meat lovers, this recipe will also work with boneless, skinless thighs, though you might have to add a minute or so to the cooking time. Or use a combination of breasts and thighs and make everyone happy.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a mallet or rolling pin, pound each to an even thickness of 1/2 inch. Do not make them any thinner or they could dry out.
- Place chicken in a large bowl and toss with salt, pepper, thyme, garlic and the zest and juice of 1 lemon. Mix in olive oil. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Remove chicken from fridge while you heat the grill.
- Light the grill, building a hot fire, or heat your gas grill to high. Once grill is fully heated, brush breasts lightly with olive oil and place chicken on the grill. Cook until undersides are browned and chicken is about halfway cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip breasts and grill until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
- Transfer chicken to a platter. Drizzle with oil and garnish with additional lemon juice, olive oil and basil or mint leaves.

Talk about great in the hot summer months! We like to serve this with a cold couscous salad, sliced cucumbers and a chilled Chardonnay. I don't know where this recipe came from originally, it's been in my repertoire forever.

BOBBY FLAY'S PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MINT SAUCE
Bobby Flay served a version of this chicken at Bolo, the elegant little jewel box of a restaurant he had on 22nd Street until 2007, when the building that housed it was sold. It came pan-roasted beneath a blanket of what Flay called Spanish spices, with a vibrant green mint sauce rich with chiles, honey, salt and mustard. The dish was one of the restaurant's best sellers. I ate it about 3,000 times there before getting the recipe and adapting it for those of us who cook at home. Of course you can make the exact same dish with chicken thighs if you want. But some will prefer the breast meat. Some always have.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425. Rinse the chicken well, then dry it with paper towel. Season the chicken aggressively with salt. Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a small bowl, and rub the mixture all over the skin of the chicken breasts.
- Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe sauté pan or skillet set over medium heat. When it is shimmering, put the breasts into the pan skin side down, and cook, unattended, until the skin is golden brown, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Using tongs, turn the chicken breasts over, and place the pan in the oven. Roast until the chicken is golden brown all over and the meat cooked entirely through, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a warmed platter, and allow to rest.
- Meanwhile, put the mint, parsley, garlic and serrano into a food processor, and pulse into a paste. Add the honey and mustard, and pulse again, until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture has become emulsified. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and if necessary, whisk in a few tablespoons of water to thin the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon some of the sauce over each chicken breast, and serve, with the remaining sauce on the side. Roasted potatoes with some thinly sliced lemons makes a fine accompaniment, along with sautéed greens.

CHICKEN BREASTS IN GARLIC-MINT MARINADE
This is one of my signature recipes, made up one summer when I had an abundance of mint, including English Mint, Orange Mint, Ginger Mint, etc. Its at its best on the Barbeque. I'm often asked for the marinade recipe, and people are always amazed that the main herb is MINT! In my opinion, it is most underused in North America in main dishes.... Any way.... here it is

Steps:
- Put the mint, garlic, parsley and pepper in a food processor and coarsly chop.
- Add the olive oil and wine (or apple juice)
- Blend again. If you are using dried hot red pepper flakes, add it now, no need to chop it further.
- Place chicken breasts and marinade into a zippered plastic bag, shake it about, and allow to marinate at least 3 hours up to overnight.
- About 1/2 an hour prior to cooking, add 2 tbsp lemon juice. (Adding the lemon juice sooner, will add too much lemon flavor, and it will tend to "cook" portions of the chicken).
- Start cooking on medium on the BBQ, and reduce to low. You absolutely don't want it to dry out. Times will vary depending on your BBQ and the thickness of the breast. I use one of those BBQ saute pans with the holes in it, and it works better than directly on the grill. Feel free to pour the extra marinade over the breasts as they cook.
- I most often serve this with a wild rice and orzo pilaf, and fresh vegetables (such as asparagus or snow peas or sauteed yellow zucchini with red peppers, red onions and grape tomatoes, with a bit of that mint added at the end).

- In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. It will be a thick paste.
- Add the boneless chicken breasts to the bowl and mix well so they are completely coated in the marinade. Let them marinate while your BBQ heats up, or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat your BBQ to medium-high heat and oil the grates well. (Or use a BBQ matt for easy cleanup.) Grill the chicken breasts for 9 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

- One at a time, place the chicken breasts in a 1-gallon zip-lock bag; using a meat mallet, pound to an even ½-inch thickness.
- Mix all of the ingredients except for the chicken together in a 1-gallon zip-lock bag (go ahead and use the same one you used for pounding if it is still in good shape). Add the chicken breasts to the bag and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated. Seal the bag and place in a bowl in the refrigerator (the bowl protects against leakage); let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the grill to high heat and oil the grates. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcook. Transfer the chicken to a platter and serve.
