Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• 1 tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp of Olive Oil
• 1/2 tbsp of Spicelopedia® Italian Lemon Pepper Seasoning
• 1/2 tbsp of Rosemary, chopped
• 4 sprigs of Thyme

For the Griddle Chicken:

• 1/2 lb of Boneless, skinless Chicken Breast
• Silver Almonds
• 1 Tbsp of Unsalted Butter

For the Christmas Salad

• 1 head of Butter Lettuce
• Pomegranate Arils

For the Dressing

• 1/2 Shallot, chopped
• 1 tbsp of Spicelopedia™ Italian Lemon Pepper Seasoning
• 1-2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp of Olive Oil (plus extra for drizzling)

Other

• Avocado Oil (For Griddle)

 

Procedures

Step One

Whisk ingredients for marinade together. Add to a plastic storage bag. Add chicken, coat, seal the bag and marinate for at least one hour.

 

Step Two

Coat griddle with Avocado Oil. Heat to medium high.

 

Step Three

Remove chicken from marinade. Pat dry with a paper towel. Reduce heat to medium. Grill chicken until caramelized on both sides, until it is “almost done,” reaching an internal temperature of 155 degrees.

 

Step Four

Transfer each piece of chicken to a tin foil packet. Top with almonds and ½ of the butter. Seal packets and return to the grill, about 10 minutes, until the almonds are lightly brown, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees and the juices run clear. Remove chicken from foil and let rest before slicing.

 

Step Five

While the chicken is cooking, add washed, cleaned, and torn butter lettuce to a serving platter. Top with Pomegranate Arils.

 

Step Six

Whisk together the shallot, seasoning, vinegar, and olive oil. Drizzle over lettuce.

 

Step Seven

Add sliced chicken on top, drizzle with more olive oil and finish with more of the Spicelopedia® Italian Lemon Pepper Seasoning, to taste.

 

Note

Grilled turkey or pork tenderloin can be substituted for the chicken.
