Grilled Rosemary-Scented Chicken
Grilling chicken breasts on a bed of rosemary sprigs is an effective and easy way to infuse them with flavor. Savory black olive paste, contrasted with a sweet confit of caramelized onion, provides a sophisticated finish.
Ingredients
-
Sweet & Sour Onion Jam, (recipe follows)
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed of fat (1-1 1/4 pounds total)
-
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
-
4 large sprigs fresh rosemary
-
4 teaspoons black olive paste, (see Ingredient note)
Directions
1.
Prepare Sweet & Sour Onion Jam.
2.
Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
3.
Rub chicken breasts with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place rosemary sprigs on the grill and lay a chicken breast over each one. Grill until chicken is browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn, keeping rosemary under chicken, and grill until no trace of pink remains in the center, about 5 minutes more. Discard rosemary. Serve chicken with black olive paste and the onion jam.
Tip:
Ingredient Note: An equal amount of minced black olives can be substituted for the black olive paste.
