Balsamic Honey Grilled Chicken

Balsamic Honey Grilled Chicken 

So this is what happened I had a good amount of balsamic dressing which was a leftover from Lunch and so I marinated a few pieces of chicken in the dressing grilled it and had this delightful sweet and sour grilled chicken.

Its easy

Take 1 leg + thigh minus the skin of a chicken

For the marinate

1 tsp honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
Salt as per taste
1/2 tsp paprika

Just marinate and grill till the juices run clear. Don't forget to turn the chicken midway through grilling

Tip

Place a steel tray beneath the rack on the chicken is beign grilled so that the juices fall on it . You can brush the chicken when you turn them with this and later soak a bread or chapati so that you get the awesome flavour.

Balsamic Honey Paprika Bell Pepper Salad

Balsamic Honey Paprika Bell Pepper Salad 

For me a salad's success largely depends on the dressing. I don't mean that I would want my salad to be drenched in the dressing but a good dressing can definitely make a boring salad extremely delicious. 

I believe it is only balance alone which keeps everything in its place. Just like you vcan't simply keep on indulging in unhealthy fattening food you can't go on eating low calorie salads without a break. A break I did take last Saturday with an indulgent meal which included a cheese tart and brioche au chocolat so it was time for a nice healthy low calorie salad again . With a tangy sweet and sour dressing this salad is a keeper for me. The dressing is a classic one with a tiny twist

Serves 1

2 small tomatoes
Half a red bell pepper
Half an yellow bell pepper
1 tbsp dried cranberries
2 dried prunes

For the dressing

1 tsp honey
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt as per taste
1/2 tsp finely chopped mint leaves

Chop your salad to make long stripes and chill it for 1 hour. Just before serving whisk together the ingredients mentioned in the dressing to create an emulsion and pour over your salad and enjoy this tangy sweet delight.
