I think summer is officially here! Summer = grill in this house. Truthfully I'd grill all winter long too but we have this pesky wind chill thing in Iowa where it gets pretty cold.
I was perusing the magazine aisle at Target one day last week and saw a new supplement put out by Weight Watchers - 15 minutes and 5 ingredient recipes. Something along those lines anyway. 15 minutes for a meal sounded pretty good to me so I tossed a copy in my cart.
We had this one for supper the other night. Rather than using a grill pan, I pounded the chicken and threw it on the grill, cooking the tomato mixture on the side burner ... all while watching the kids in the sandbox. Can I multi-task or what??
This was a snap to put together and it tasted great. Even better, I had everything I needed to make it, with the exception of the tomatoes. Next time I'll double the tomato mixture as the kids gobbled it up.
Kalamata-Balsamic Chicken with Feta
WW 5 Ingredients, 15 Minutes supplement
4 6-oz boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes -- halved
16 whole kalamata olives
3 tablespoons light balsamic vinaigrette
3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons basil leaves
Sprinkle chicken even with pepper. Combine tomatoes, olives and dressing in a medium bowl.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Cook chicken 6-7 minutes on each side or until done. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
Add tomato mixture to pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until tomato softens. Spoon over chicken and top evenly with cheese and basil.
