Chicken Paillards with Tomato-Dill Relish


This one couldn't be easier and it's terrific.  Paillard is an older term referring to the quick cooking of thinly sliced/thinly pounded pieces of meat. Most often this is referring to veal or chicken, but beef can be used.

Serves 4

4 (6-ounces) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped dill
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas)

Pound chicken 1/4 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin.
Whisk together oil, dill, shallot, mustard, and vinegar in a large bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then add to dill mixture, turning to coat.
Toss tomatoes with reserved dill mixture and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Grill chicken, turning once, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Serve topped with relish. Serve and Enjoy!
