Grilled Chicken with Gremolata

I recently bought this month's Cooking Light.  I love to read this magazine but more often than not, I don't make a single recipe I have read.  This month though is different.  I already have 5 recipes I want to try....stay tuned for those!

Tonight I decided to make one of the quicker recipes I had tagged, Grilled Chicken with Gremolata.  I was especially excited because that meant I would get to use some herbs from my patio garden for the first time!  This is a great week night meal that I put together in under 30 minutes, including grilling time.

Grilled Chicken with Gremolata

adapted from Cooking Light (May 2010)

4- 6 oz chicken breasts

1/2 tsp of salt

1/2 tsp of black pepper

2 TBS of olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

Zest of one lemon

3 tsp of olive oil

2 TBS of pine nuts, toasted

2 garlic cloves

2 springs of fresh mint

1/2 cup of loosely packed fresh basil leaves

1/4 tsp of salt

1/4 tsp of pepper

In a large resealable bag combine 2 TBS of olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper.  Add the chicken and massage well.  Let this stand for 10 minutes or so.  Then grill using an indirect cooking method. Meanwhile, in a mini-food processor, combine the lemon zest, pine nuts, garlic cloves, 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper, 3 tsp of olive oil, mint, and basil.  Pulse to combine until a paste forms.  Once the chicken is done slice each breast into strips, against the grain.  Top with Gremolata.  Enjoy!
