Recipe Round Up ~ Grill Day

Ellen over at The Happy Wonderer is hosting a Grill Edition of Recipe Round Up. If you've got a great grilling recipe and/or grilling tips do a post and drop by Ellen's to add your link. I love grilling so I'm looking forward to trying all the great recipes. I have a couple recipes I hope you'll like. One of my contributions is one we tried a couple weeks ago. It was the moistest grilled chicken I think I've ever made. Everyone raved over this and it is soooo easy.

GRILLED TANDOORI CHICKEN BREASTS

6 skinned chicken breasts

1/2 tsp. cumin

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt

1 tsp. chili powder

2 Tbsp. oil

1 tsp. ground ginger

2 cloves crushed or minced garlic

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

Early in the morning or the night before, mix all ingrediants in a glass container. Add chicken breasts and totally coat. Cover and refridgerate 6 - 12 hours in refridgerator. Shake or stir at least once to recoat.

Heat BBQ on high then turn to medium heat before putting on chicken. When hot, brush grill with a little oil to prevent sticking. Cook 5 minutes per side or until juices run clear. Do not over cook.

GRILLED VEGETABLE SKEWARS

-wooden grill skewars that have been soaked in water at least 1/2 hour

-Any combination of the following veggies cut in chunks or whole if small enough eg. cherry tomatoes, zucchini, red onion, any color pepper, mushrooms

-2 Tbsp vinegar

-2 Tbsp water

-1 clove garlic crushed or minced

-2 Tbsp dill, basil or parsley

-2 Tbsp oil

Whisk together marinade ingrediants. Add veggies, stir and marinade in fridge at one hour. Grill on medium to medium high heat until you have nice grill marks turning so all sides touch grill once. If desired, brush with marinade while grilling.

Another easy, easy recipe is grilled pizza and it's delish! And I'm all about easy and delish.

GRILLED BBQ PIZZA

1 pre made 12 - 14 inch pizza shell

oil

chicken & rib bbq sauce

1 - 2 cooked chicken breasts chopped

red pepper sliced

tomatoe, sliced

mushrooms, sliced

shredded mozzarella cheese or shredded cheese combo of cheddar/mozza/montery jack

Heat BBQ to medium heat. Brush pizza shell on both sides with oil. (I prefer a light olive oil, but any you like may be used.) Place on grill, cover and grill for a minute per side.

Remove from grill and add BBQ sauce using back of spoon to spread almost to edges. Add cheese. Then chicken, then the vegetables. I like to add a little more sprinkle of cheese at this point but that's optional.

Place back on BBQ, cover and let grill until cheese is hot and bubbly. Depending on your grill, you might want to turn it down a bit. Check bottom of pizza to see if it's turning brown too quickly.
