Grilled Everything!!!

I'm at my parent's house in Orange County and they have a big, beautiful grill and since it's summer this seemed like the perfect dinner. I loved being able to add lots of flavor and char with the grill without adding a lot of fat so I could eat a ton of this dinner and feel good about it later, which is always a good thing.

Ingredients:

Chicken Breasts
1 medium yukon gold potato per person
1 sweet mayan onion cut into thick slices
olive or canola oil

spice rub:
salt and pepper
red chili flake
oregano
thyme

Basil Lemon Sauce:
5 large leaves of basil, diced
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 container greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)
salt and pepper


Directions:

1. Turn on grill and allow to start getting hot.

2. Combine spice rub ingredients and rub all over chicken. You can do this early and allow to marinate in the fridge or just let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes.

3. Poke the yukon gold potatoes with a fork a few times and place in the microwave for 5 minutes or until fork tender. The potatoes should be almost completely cooked because the grill will just give them marks and a smoky flavor but not really cook them.

4. In a bowl large enough to fit all the potatoes combine 5 tbs of olive oil and 2 tbs of lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

5. Combine all the ingredients for the basil lemon sauce and set aside. (make sure to taste and season this)

6. Once potatoes are par cooked, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. They need to be thick so they won't fall apart on the grill. While still warm combine with the olive oil and lemon mixture.

7. Now it's time to start grilling. Cover each chicken breast with a little oil to prevent sticking and place skin side down on the grill over high heat. Let cook, UNTOUCHED for 5 minutes. Once it has grill marks rotate it 90 degrees to get the pretty hash marks so people will know it's been grilled.

8. While chicken is grilling, place potatoes and onion slices on the side of the grill and cook until marked. Place on a pan, covered, on the side of the grill or keep warm in the oven while chicken cooks.

9. When one side of chicken is finished, flip it over and allow to cook another 10-15 minutes. Remove it from the grill and cover it with foil and allow to rest for a few minutes.

10. Place your sauce, potatoes and onions, and grilled chicken on the table and let everyone serve themselves.
