Barefoot Contessa CookbookWe are in the process of moving. So, imagine if you will…

Me. Filing. Organizing. Packing. Hungry. Dinner hour approaching. At this point, I just want an easy dinner that I know will be satisfying, so I reach for an old favorite – Grilled Lemon Chicken Salad from Barefoot Contessa. On this hot summer night, it does not disappoint.

You start eating it with your eyes immediately. The colorful ingredients are simple and healthy – chicken, red and yellow bell peppers, sugar snap peas, lemon juice, olive oil and thyme. I like serving it with whole wheat couscous that’s been tossed with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pine nuts (also good and healthy in a hurry).

As an urban dweller lacking yard space, I don’t have a grill, so I use my grill pan for “grilled” chicken. It’s the best we city folk can do. Of course, if you have a grill – quick, fire it up, and invite us for dinner!

    OK absolutely love this one! and your writing has me hungry. You are welcome to our grill for dinner anytime – but might not be convenient given your unpacking schedule! Keep the yummy coming!

    I’m another big supporter of this salad. Not only is it yummy when Kristen makes it for you.. it’s really easy to make on your own!

    yum!
