Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Favorite Balsamic Vinaigrette per pound of chicken, plus more for tossing with greens (recipe follows; may substitute your favorite store-bought option)

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 boneless chicken breast halves

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

1 small garlic clove, smashed and minced

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey

Toppings: Kalamata olives (sliced and pitted), a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts and/or Sarah's Savory Snack's Sweet Basil & Olive mix

1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup olive oil

8-12 cups salad greens (about one large head, chopped, or one 5- to 6-ounce bag)

whisk

bowl

ziploc bags

grill

Cooking instruction summary:

For the balsamic dressing: In a bowl whisk together the garlic, salt and pepper, Dijon, honey and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking as you go, until the dressing is emulsified. You may also add everything to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well.Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow flavors to blend. The vinaigrette will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator. Shake well prior to using. If the olive oil has solidified due to the cold, simply allow the jar to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using.For the grilled chicken and tomato-feta salsa: Place the chicken in a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour the vinaigrette over top, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible. I like to flip the bag a few times to distribute the marinade.When ready to eat, prepare the grill. Gently mix the tomato, feta, basil, and a few grinds of fresh pepper in a medium bowl. Allow to sit at room temperature until the chicken is ready.Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the remaining marinade, and cook the chicken over medium heat for 7-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness, or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove from the heat and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes. If you do not wish to discard the leftover marinade, be sure to simmer it for a few minutes on the stovetop before serving alongside the chicken.Assembling the salad: Place the salad greens in a bowl and toss with enough vinaigrette to lightly coat. Distribute the dressed greens among four dinner plates. Top with a chicken breast (whole, sliced, or chopped according to preference), followed by one quarter of the tomato-feta salsa. Sprinkle with nuts or Sarahs Sweet Basil & Olive mix. Drizzle a little extra balsamic vinaigrette over top (or pass at the table) and garnish with extra basil if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Food Joke

Home - A - Age Jokes "That's an excellent essay for someone your age," said the English teacher. "How about for someone my Mum's age, Miss?" "Welcome to school, Simon," said the nursery school teacher to the new boy. "How old are you?" "I'm not old," said Simon. "I'm nearly new." Miss Jones agreed to be interviewed by Fred for the school magazine. "How old are you, ma'am?" asked Fred. "I'm not going to tell you that," she replied. "But Mr Hill the technical teacher and Mr Hill the geography teacher told me how old they were." "Oh well," said Miss Jones. "I'm the same age as both of them." The poor teacher was not happy when she saw what Fred wrote: Miss Jones, our English teacher, confided in me that she was as old as the Hills. "Now remember, boys and girls," said the science teacher, "you can tell a tree's age by counting the rings in a cross section. One ring for each year." Fred went home for tea and found a chocolate roll on the table. "I'm not eating that, Mum!" she said. "It's five years old." Grandma: You've left all your crusts, Fred. When I was your age I ate every one. Fred: Do you still like crusts, Grandma? Grandma: Yes, I do. Fred: Well, you can have mine. How old is your wife? Approaching forty. From which direction? An eminent old man was being interviewed, and was asked if it was correct that he had just celebrated his ninety-ninth birthday. `That's right,' said the old man. `Ninety-nine years old, and I haven't an enemy in the world. They're all dead.' `Well, sir,' said the interviewer, `I hope very much to have the honour of interviewing you on your hundredth birthday.' The old man looked at the young man closely, and said, `I can't see why you shouldn't. You look fit and healthy to me!'.
