Okay the first question is: What are paillards? Paillards are just meat pounded thin with a mallet or rolling pin. See how smart you are getting? :) This recipe came from Cooking Light magazine. It is easy, good and low in calories (226/serving). It is great served with rice and a greek (yes greek again) farmers salad (recipe follows).
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
5 t. lemon rind
1 T. olive oil
1 1/2 t. oregano
salt and pepper
1/4 t. water
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 lemon wedges
2 T. parsley
Prepare grill or grill pan. (Or if you don't have these cook it in a skillet).
Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4" thickness. Combine lemon rind and next 6 ingredients and rub evenly over chicken on both sides. Place on a grill or grill pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Grill for 3 minutes/side. Remove from heat. Squeeze 1 lemon wedge over each chicken breast half. Sprinkle parsley over chicken.
Greek Farmers Salad
Combine 2 T. red wine vinegar, 2 t. Dijon mustard, 1 t. olive oil, 1/2 t. oregano, 1/4 t. red pepper, and 2 minced cloves of garlic.
Combine 3 c. chopped English cucumber, 2 c. cherry tomatoes, halved, 1 c. chopped yellow pepper, 1/4 c. chopped red onion, and 1/4 c. halved kalamata olives. Drizzle dressing over salad to coat.
Happy eating:)
