Grilled Mediterranean Chicken

June 16, 2016

I am always looking for a good summer grilling recipe.  I love to grill for a couple reasons.  One, it’s perfect when it’s really hot out and two, my hubby usually does the grilling so I get a break from cooking, score!  I had a hankering for something Mediterranean so I decided to try my hand at creating a grilling recipe that combined my favorite flavors using a few  Mezzetta products.

Grilled Mediterranean Chicken

This summer grilling recipe is full of Mediterranean flavors. It's also a healthy choice. #Mezzetta Summer Grilling #BoldBrightSummer

Here’s what I did:

I have an aversion to recipes that have a bazillion steps and won’t try them. The longest part of this meal was cutting up the toppings, which was not long at all. I chose Greek olives, tomatoes, feta cheese, Mezzetta pepper rings and roasted red peppers.  If you don’t like something I added choose your favorite topping.

Next, put your chicken breast on the grill and sear on one side.  Then brush on your pesto.  Flip the breast and grill with the pesto side down. Repeat on the other side.

Once the chicken is almost cooked add your toppings.  Close the grill lid for about 5 minutes and let it heat the toppings up a little.

Carefully remove the chicken from the grill so you don’t lose all your toppings.  I made some Mediterranean Quinoa  and salad to go with the chicken. This was meal was a huge hit, summer grilling at it’s finest and it’s HEALTHY!  It was fresh and full of flavor.  My husband told me he was a little hesitant with the pepper rings on it but said it was his favorite part since they added so much flavor.  I think next time I make this (yes, this will be a repeated meal) I will drizzle the chicken with balsamic vinegar once it’s on the platter.

    I love these Mediterranean grilled chicken breasts. I have a firmly held belief that pesto makes everything better and I'm ALL about some toppings on my food, so this is right up my alley. Pinned!
