Lemon Grilled Chicken with Sun-dried Tomato Dipping Sauce

Tuesday, February 12, 2013

From our skinny table to yours ...

Doesn't everyone love a good dipping sauce? It gives each bite a powerful flavor punch, keeps each bite extra moist and let's be honest, it's just more fun to dip your dinner :)

Tonight we're making our lemon grilled chicken with a sun-dried tomato & basil dipping sauce. The sauce is deliciously thick and flavorful made with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese and a touch of extra virgin olive oil to create a creamy, thick texture. This is so good we could eat it by the spoonful! We served this up with a side of grilled asparagus (which we also dipped!) for the perfect easy & delicious weekday dinner.

Hope you enjoy!


Ingredients
1 pound chicken tenderloins
1 pound asparagus
2 lemons
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes

1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper

1. To make your sauce, add sun-dried tomatoes, basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil and juice of 1 lemon to the food processor and blend to combine. Refrigerate when blended.
2. Season up the chicken with 1/2 the garlic powder, juice of half a lemon, salt and pepper.
