Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds), halved
For gremolata:
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
Garnish:
lemon slices
thyme sprigs
Lemon Coleslaw:
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
2 teaspoons low-fat mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon splenda sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb green cabbage, thinly sliced (4 cups)
2 carrots, cut into julienne strips or coarsely grated
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced diagonally (1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Method:
1. In a bowl whisk together lemon juice, pepper, and salt to taste and add oil
in a stream, whisking until marinade is emulsified. With a rolling pin or
smooth side of a meat pounder flatten chicken 1/4 inch thick between sheets of
plastic wrap. 2. In a large resealable plastic bag marinate chicken in
marinade, chilled, 30 minutes.
Prepare grill.
3. Grill chicken on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until
just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
Serve chicken sprinkled with gremolata and garnished with lemon and thyme.
Make gremolata:
In a small bowl stir together gremolata ingredients.
To make the Lemon Coleslaw:
Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, zest, lemon juice, sugar, water, salt,
and pepper in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add cabbage, carrots,
scallions, and parsley and toss well. Chill, covered, 1 hour to allow flavors
to develop. Season with salt and pepper.
