Topic: Simple BBQ chicken recipe

[Aussie Mick]

This is a favourite of ours in summer. It's light and simple and tasty and reasonably healthy.

Serves 4

- 3-4 good sized Chicken breasts sliced lengthways into about about 3 or 4 pieces per breast
- A good glug or 3 of EVOO and same amount of fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 4 or 5 crushed garlic cloves
- A few drops of sesame oil (probably 3 quarters of a tsp)
- Freshly ground salt and black pepper
- Fresh chopped herbs. Coriander, or parsley or thyme work well (not essential)

Method:

- Cut chicken and stab it with a fork to allow the mixture to penetrate
- Throw all other ingredients, and chicken into a non metallic bowl and mix well (by hand is best)
- Allow to marinate for a few hours in the fridge. Remove from fridge about 1/2 hour before cooking.
- BBQ and enjoy with a fresh salad, fresh pasta, olives and crusty bread lashed with Lurpack. We like to also BBQ some sliced aubergine brushed with EVOO and salt and black pepper

A nice light summer meal, and a change from curry....once in a while

Sorry fellas, I assumed that everyone would know evoo?? Me being a bit of a "pizza-holic" it is second nature to use the term.

Serously though, give it a try.

On a balmy summers evening, it goes down well, especially eating al fresco with plenty of ice cold Peronis to wash it down.
