Marinated Chicken with Sun-dried Tomatoes

This chicken recipe is rapidly becoming my favorite way to grill chicken.

The nice long marinade really releases into the chicken some wonderfully complex and luscious savory flavors.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, bone and skin on, with slits cut into it

3 small shallots, sliced

2 small garlic cloves, minced

1 green onion, sliced

About 6 sun-dried tomatoes, cut into thirds

1 C olive oil

1 C Red Wine Vinegar

2 T Fish Sauce

2 T coconut aminos or light soy sauce

Misc herbs such as thyme, oregano

Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:

Mix all ingredients (except the chicken) thoroughly. Place chicken breasts in a dish that is small enough but deep enough to cover the chicken with the marinade mostly, then pour the marinade over the chicken. Allow to marinate for 2-6 hours (or even overnight!).

Heat grill on medium-low and place chicken skin side down and cover and let cook for about 20 minutes. Turn and continue for another 20. Brushing the remaining marinade onto the chicken occasionally. Crank the heat to high, generously lathering one more layer of marinade and put the skin side down for a nice final char. About 15-20 mins.

Take the chicken out and let it rest for about 10 minutes (it will continue cooking with residual heat, and cutting too soon will dry it out as all the tasty juices rush out.)

Serve with veggies of your choice!
