RUSH HOUR RECIPES Chicken Gremolata Serves 4. Prep time: 25 minutes. 1 large lemon, zest and juice ½ cup parsley leaves, lightly packed 2 cloves garlic 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided Salt 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed Freshly ground pepper Preparation For the gremolata, use a micro plane or the fine side of a grater to shred the zest from the lemon onto one side of the cutting board. Halve the rest of the lemon, and set aside. On the other side of the cutting board, mince the parsley finely. Chop the garlic finely, then combine the zest, parsley and garlic on the board and chop together to a fine mince. Transfer the parsley mixture to a small bowl or cup and drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt over the mixture, stir to mix well. If the mixture seems dry, add more olive oil to taste. Makes about ¼ cup. Place the chicken on a cutting board, drizzle with olive oil and rub to coat, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the chicken on the grill pan and let cook, undisturbed, for about 5-6 minutes. Carefully turn each breast and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top. Continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thick part of the meat registers 165 degrees F. Let the meat stand for a couple of minutes before serving. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of gremolata over each chicken breast. The gremolata can be made a day ahead and refrigerated, tightly covered, until you are ready to use it. 2016 National Co+op Grocers
