Greek Chicken Cutlets (Martha Stewart)

Serves 4

Ingredients
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives
4 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled (1 cup)
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds thin chicken cutlets (about 8)

Directions
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, olives, feta, mint, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Heat a grill pan over high; brush lightly with oil. Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Cook, working in batches as necessary, until chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Top chicken with tomato mixture, and serve.

SPANKOCORIZO
2 1/4 pounds of fresh spinach, chopped, washed, drained
1 spring onion, chopped
1/3 cups of olive oil
1 1/3 cup of water
1 1/3 cups of long-grain rice
5 1/4 cups of water
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

Preparation:
In a stock pot, sauté the chopped spring onion in the oil over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Add spinach and 1 1/3 cups of water and cook until the spinach wilts, about 5-7 minutes. Add rice and 5 1/4 cups of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in lemon juice and salt, cook for another 5 minutes and remove from heat. Stir, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes until the dish "melds."

Tuesday- Falafel with yogurt tahini sauce

Thursday- sundried tomato chicken sliders and homemade sweet potato fries




recipes?


Falafel

1 15 Oz Can Cooked Chick Peas (Garbanzo Beans), rinsed and drained
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 Cup Onion, chopped
1/4 Cup Cilantro, chopped
1/4 Cup Parsley
1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs
1 Tsp Cumin
1/2 Tsp Salt
Olive, Vegetable or Canola Oil for pan searing

1. Place the first 8 ingredients in a food processor and puree. Make sure the mixture is throughly combined. Scrape down the sides of the mixture as needed.
2. With moist hands (so the mixture doesn’t stick to your hands) form patties using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and place on a plate while you form the remaining patties.
3. In a medium saute pan, heat around 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. You want the pan to have a thin coating of oil.
4. Add half of the patties to the pan and saute for 4 minutes on each side or until golden (you may have to add a little more oil if your pan get too dry).
5. Remove the patties from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate (to absorb any extra oil).
6. Cook the remaining patties.
7. Cool and serve with yogurt sauce.

Yogurt Tahini Sauce (Makes a little over 1/2 Cup)

1/2 Cup Yogurt
1 Tbsp Lemon
1 Tbsp Tahini (if your little one has a nut allergy, you could leave this out)

1. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine



Chicken Sun Dried Tomato Mini Burgers (Makes 8 mini burgers, or 4-5 big burgers)

1/3 Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, packed in oil
1 1/4 lb Ground Chicken
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 Tsp Salt
2 Slices Mozzarella, Provolone, White Cheddar or any kind of cheese you like, cut in fourths
8 Mini Burger Buns or regular size buns cut four ways
Olive Oil


1. Preheat grill, panini maker, or saute pan.
2. Place sun dried tomatoes in a food processor, process for 30 seconds until chopped.
3. Add ground chicken, parmesan cheese, and salt and process until all ingredients are incorporated.
4. Use a 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture and form into patties for mini burgers, or use a 1/2 cup and form into larger patties.
5. Grease grill, panini maker or pan with olive oil.
6. Toast burger buns for one minute and remove.
7. On the grill or pan, cook patties for 3 minutes on each side for mini burgers, 4 minutes for bigger burgers. In the panini maker, cook a total of 3 minutes for minis, 4 minutes for larger burgers.
8. Add cheese to the patty in the last minute of cooking to melt. (If you are cooking with the panini maker, remove patty once fully cooked and add cheese and let patty rest for one minute (the cheese will melt while the burger is resting).
9. Place patties in burger buns and serve.


** i havent made the falafel yet but i made the chicken sliders and i HIGHLY recmd them! i added a clove of garlic and some fresh basil to the food processor and i think it gave it a nice kick! totally making this for my next bbq dinner party!
