Sunday was an absolutely perfect day here in Spokane. They don't happen often so you have to jump on them while you can! Cj asked for her favorite dinner, awesome news because it can be cooked entirely on the grill and keep the kitchen nice and cool. So, without further blogger nonsense here was our menu:
- Grilled chicken sandwiches with balsamic, pesto aioli
- Finger potatoes with olive oil and sea salt
- Grilled corn on the cob
- Grilled blue, black and strawberries over ice cream
Let's start with the chicken sandwiches: these are actually really simple. Chicken breasts slathered in the balsamic pesto aioli and grilled to perfection, small ciabatta rolls (also slathered in balsamic pesto aioli) and grilled, top the chicken with Swiss cheese and let it get good and melty, top with uncured bacon, tomato and fresh basil......yummy!
Finger potatoes are always easy and always a hit. Wash the potatoes and then toss them in olive oil and sea salt. Place them in a foil pouch and let them cook, indirect heat please, for 10 minutes before you put the chicken on and then the entire time the chicken is cooking.
Corn on the cob, everyone has their own way of cooking it. Have fun and experiment!
Dessert: after washing everything cut up the strawberries into smaller pieces and place in a homemade foil container, add as many blue and blackberries as you wish and grill away until bubbly. Let sit for about 10 minutes to cool and then serve over vanilla ice cream. I have made this with every possible variation of berry and each time it has been a HUGE hit!
Enjoy!
