Sunday al fresco

Another sunny day here, and after a morning of weeding and getting the vegetable garden ready for planting, we had friends and their kids over for dinner. I fired up the grill, baked some potatoes in the oven, threw together a mixed salad with feta cheese, steamed some broccoli, and grilled hamburgers and boneless, skinless chicken thighs.

People often times make the mistake of grilling boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they invariably end up dry and tough. Thighs are delicious and always end up moist when grilled. I made them similarly to last night, a drizzle of olive oil, kosher salt and ground pepper. They are so delicious and incredibly easy. They only need to be turned once. The other trick I've found for moist grilled chicken is when it is finished, wrap all of the chicken in some foil and keep it warm in the oven until ready to serve.

Unfortunately I need to go back to the market again tomorrow as we don't have any leftovers from tonight.

On second thought, we always have pasta with tomato sauce...
