Q. I am the recipient of one of those George Foreman indoor grills and wondered if you had an easy recipe for chicken that would work with one of these.
A. This reader request inspired me to create a Mediterranean-style recipe for chicken using the indoor grill. You've got to like green olives, though, since that's the base of the grilling sauce. What makes it easy is that you are preparing your lemon olive grilling sauce in the time it takes your grill to preheat. Simply put the grilling sauce ingredients into your small food processor or chopper and process (or chop) for about 10 seconds.
This is a nice light recipe since we are using skinless chicken breasts and the grilling sauce is made with a tablespoon of olive oil plus some lemon juice, green olives and spices.
EASY LEMON OLIVE CHICKEN
Start preheating your indoor grill — on medium-high, if it has a temperature control.
Meanwhile, in small food processor bowl (or in a flat-bottom bowl using a hand chopper) combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, green olives, black pepper, salt and oregano and chop coarsely. Do not overprocess.
When grill is ready, place chicken breasts on the bottom grill and spread the lemon-olive sauce evenly over the tops of the chicken. Lower the top of the grill and cook for about 8 minutes (check to make sure the chicken is cooked throughout).
Serve over steamed brown rice or other whole grain or use as the featured meat in an entrée salad or sandwich.
Makes 4 servings.
