Zubereitung von Basil Grilled Chicken Sandwiches With Red Pepper Relish
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the yogurt mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- While the chicken marinates, prepare the red pepper relish. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium red bell pepper (finely diced), 1/2 small red onion (finely diced), and 1 clove minced garlic to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup roasted red peppers (jarred, drained), and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.
- Store the relish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade). Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice it on the bias.
- Spread 4 tablespoons of red pepper relish on each of 4 focaccia halves.
- Top with sliced chicken and a handful of arugula.
- Finish with a dollop of extra relish and the remaining focaccia halves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
