Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (remove the skin)
- 2 lemons, cut into wedges
- 5 large garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup Hyssop Spice Mix "zaatar" spice blend
- 2 red peppers
- 1 zucchini
- 1 red onion
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup Saha Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Saha Syrian Pressed Olives
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
For the chicken:
- Prick chicken breasts all over with a fork and place in a large zip lock bag, with olive oil and zaatar.
- Smash garlic cloves, remove peel and add to bag.
- Squeeze lemon juice from wedges into bag and then place whole wedge (peel and all) into bag.
- Close bag tightly and shake until the marinade is mixed completely coats chicken breasts. Marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Remove chicken from marinade, but don't scrape off the spice mixture. Grill over medium heat until chicken is done.
For the vegetables:
- Cut peppers into approximately 1 inch square pieces. Slice zucchini about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut onion into large wedges and separate layers.
- Using long skewers, alternate pepper, zucchini and onion pieces.
- Place on a medium hot grill and cook until vegetables are tender and edges are very slightly charred.
- Mix feta, vinegar, Saha Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Saha Syrian pressed Olives in a large bowl. Add warm vegetables (take out skewers) and toss.
Serve chicken with vegetables as a side dish.
NOTE - I don't put anything on my vegetables before grilling (saves flare-ups). The vegetables soak up the dressing after they are cooked.
