Signature Grilled Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or shallow dish. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat the Grill: Fire up your Casa Bella outdoor kitchen grill to medium-high heat. Let it heat up for about 10-15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Avoid pressing down on the chicken to keep it juicy.
Rest and Serve: Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Having an outdoor kitchen from Casa Bella not only makes grilling a delight but also brings a touch of elegance and convenience to your backyard. Imagine effortlessly preparing this delicious grilled chicken recipe while entertaining guests and enjoying the beauty of your outdoor space.
Serving BBQ chicken with other dishes can elevate your dining experience and provide a well-rounded meal. Here are some ideas on how to pair BBQ chicken with complementary flavors and textures:
BBQ chicken is a versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of side dishes. For classic BBQ flavors, baked beans are a staple. They are easy to make from scratch using navy beans, bacon, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, molasses, and Worcestershire sauce. Coleslaw, available in creamy or vinegar-based versions, adds a refreshing crunch to your meal. You can make it with chopped cabbage, onions, carrots, and spices. Mac and cheese is another comforting option that complements BBQ chicken nicely. For a smoky twist, try smoking it in a smoker at 225°F to add depth without overcooking the noodles. Cornbread is a perfect accompaniment to BBQ, and it's simple to make using flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and baking powder. Serve it warm with honey butter for an extra treat.
For healthier and more creative options, consider a quinoa salad with avocado and black beans. This nutritious salad combines cooked quinoa with black beans, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. A vinaigrette made from olive oil, lime juice, cumin, and chili flakes adds a zesty touch. Roasted sweet potatoes are a delicious and nutritious side dish. Roast them with olive oil, cinnamon, and sea salt at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Grilled vegetable skewers are another colorful and flavorful option. Skewer bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and red onion, then grill them with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and dried oregano.
Additional ideas include a peach salad with feta, which combines sweet and savory flavors, or a BLT pasta salad, which adds a twist to the classic sandwich. Tahini roasted cauliflower offers a creamy, Middle Eastern-inspired flavor that pairs well with BBQ chicken.
These side dishes offer a mix of traditional comfort food and healthier, more innovative options to pair with your BBQ chicken, ensuring a well-rounded and satisfying meal for your guests. By combining BBQ chicken with these dishes, you can create a variety of delicious meals that cater to different tastes and dietary preferences.
