Equipment
- BBQ Grill
- meat pounder or rolling pin
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 lemons halved
- 4 cups salad and veggies of choice
- Olive oil or salad dressing of choice
Instructions
- Heat BBQ to medium heat.
- Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally, opening like a book and pounding out gently (or not so gently. I don’t know what kind of day you’re having) between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to a thickness of one-half inch.
- Brush each paillard with a half tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the chicken pieces on the grill for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on how thick the breasts are. Place the lemons, cut side down on the grill to caramelize.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set chicken and lemons aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, mix the lettuce and veggies with lemon juice and olive oil or salad dressing.
- Place one paillard on each plate and top the grilled chicken with 1 cup salad and enjoy.
