Tried something new tonight...a pan sauce on the grill. Never made one before so I thought I'd give it a shot.


Fennel marinated chicken (ground fennel, olive oil, lemon juice and S&P) and the sauce fixins (minced shallot, white Rioja, thyme, Dijon, S&P and butter). I didn't have a small enough non non-stick saute pan for the grill so I improvised with a sauce pan.

The little one was sick today and the girls stayed home so Leigh-Ann got the chicken marinating while I was at work. When I went to put the chicken on they were cutlets and not whole B/S breasts as I had expected...totally changed the cook mid-stream. I wanted to cook them long, indirect with one in the pan with a little oil to start the pan sauce. Didn't work out as planned because they were cutlets but I kept on going anyway...

Chicken and sauce off. Sorry no pics of the sauce being cooked but it went pretty fast and I didn't have time to snap any photos.

Plated with a Avocado, Cilantro, Orange and Romaine Salad dressed with Lime-Cumin Dressing.

The sauce experiment went pretty well. It would have been better with a little more chicken goodness stuck to the pan...next time!

Thanks for looking.
 
SCORE!!! Great improvising! Not sure what looks better, the chicken or the salad?? Awww heck just get me a couple plates to decide!!!

Did you dress the salad with anything or just with the juice from the orange? I love stuff like this!!
 
Wow, that looks good! I say grab me a tortilla and I'll wrap everything up on that plate and eat it.

Nice job, Don.
 
Thanks, Guys!
