Father's Day Dinner....
Posted 06-16-2007 at 07:00 AM by mycoupons
Tomorrow is Father's Day. I think my dear hubby is not just a great husband but a great Dad too. He always takes time out for our children. He has an open door policy with them as I do, they can go to him and feel free to discuss anything.
He his always there for the kids, including our son-in-law. If they call at 1 a.m. because one of them has a flat tire, he will get of out bed and go to their rescue. If my daughter's husband needs a hand with learning how to fix something, my dear hubby is there. When it's one of their birthdays he refuses to buy a store cake, HE will bake one for them.... he loves cooking!
I can go on and on with many examples of why I think he is a great Dad. The kids make it a very special day for him and so do I. I plan to make one of his favorite dishes for him tomorrow..... Grilled Chicken with Tomato Basil Sauce. I serve it with a side of linguine.
The recipe serves 6 and I hope you enjoy as much as we do!
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup of fresh basil, chopped
1 tsp of dried oregano
3/4 tsp. of garlic, minced
3 tbsp grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
3/4 cups of olive oil, I prefer extra virgin
3/4 lb of mozzarella cheese, sliced
For the sauce:
1/3 cup of fresh basil, chopped
3 tablespoons of parmesan or romano cheese
3/4 cups of butter, softened
1/2 cup of sundried tomatoes that are packed in oil, drained and chopped
Pinch of salt & pepper
Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Place chicken in a ziploc bag. In a bowl, combine the 3/4 cup of olive oil, garlic, 1/2 cup of the basil, oregano and 3 tbsp of the grated cheese. Pour over the chicken in the bag, toss to make sure it's thoroughly coated. Place bag in refrigerator and marinate for at least 3 hours, turning it occasionally.
Prior to just removing the chicken from refrigerator prepare the sauce. Place the softened butter in a small bowl, add the 3 tablespoons of grated cheese, 1/3 cup of basil, sundried tomatoes and a pinch of salt & peppers. Blend well.
Preheat grill on med-high and spray grates lightly with non-stick spray (so chicken doesn't stick). Remove chicken from bag, discard marinade. Place chicken on grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until juices run clear and there is no pink inside. Lower the grill down to low and place mozzarella slices on the chicken. Remove chicken when the cheese has melted. Place on plate and top with tomato basil topping.
Keep on cooking and Happy Father's Day to all Dads everywhere!
