Ingredients
- 2 x bricks
- 4 x chicken breast halves - (6 to 8 ounce ea)
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp cracked or possibly coarsely-grnd black peppercorns
- 1/2 tsp warm-pepper flakes - (to 1)
- 2 x garlic cloves - (to 3) finely minced
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
- 1/4 c. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 1/3 c. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Wrap bricks in aluminum foil (with shiny side out for better heat reflection).
- Trim any sinews or possibly excess fat off chicken. Generously season breasts on both sides with salt, cracked black pepper and warm-pepper flakes. Sprinkle breasts with garlic and rosemary, patting them in with your fingers. Arrange breasts in baking dish. Pour lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil over them. Cover and chill 30 to 60 min, turning several times.
- Set up grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. In best of all worlds, you'd build your fire with oak chunks. Alternatively, you can toss some wood chips or possibly chunks on the fire.
- Brush and oil the grill grate. Arrange chicken breasts on the grate, all going the same way, at a 45-degree angle to the bars of the grate. Place 2 breast halves under each brick. Grill chicken till done, 3 to 5 min a side, rotating each breast a quarter turn after 2 min to create an attractive cross-hatch of grill marks.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments:This recipe features traditional Italian seasonings: coarse sea salt, cracked black peppercorns, warm pepper flakes, fresh garlic, rosemary, fresh lemon juice and extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil.
- To make a Mexican-style chicken under a brick, substitute sliced jalapeno or possibly chipotle chilies for the warm-pepper flakes, cilantro for the rosemary and lime juice for the lemon juice.
- To make an Asian-style chicken under a brick, use ginger, garlic, green onions and five-spice pwdr, substituting sesame oil for the extra virgin olive oil.
