GRILLED CHICKEN PICCATA

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil, capers, parsley and lemon juice in a bowl. Put the chicken in a resealable bag, pour the marinade into the bag and let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Prepare a grill for two-level heat. If using a gas grill, set to medium-high heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank hot coals on one side of the grill.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade; reserve the marinade. Place the chicken skin-side up on the hot side of the grill, close the lid and grill for 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and grill for 1 minute, then move to the cooler side of the grill skin-side up.
• Pour the marinade and stock into a small saucepan and place on the hot side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook until the chicken measures 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes; make sure the marinade is simmering. During the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, add the lemon halves cut-side down and cook until charred in spots. Remove the chicken and lemon to a plate.
• Whisk the butter into the marinade until combined, then pour over the chicken. Serve with the grilled lemon.

VEAL SPIEDINI - STUFFED, SKEWERED, AND GRILLED

Steps:

• On a clean cutting board, lay out the pounded veal cutlets.
• Cut each cutlet across in 1/3rd's, to make 3 (4-inch) long pieces from every cutlet. Season each piece with salt and pepper, then place 1/2 teaspoon of softened whipped butter on each slice and spread it evenly across.
• In a mixing bowl, add the bread crumbs, onions, garlic, parsley, and both of the grated cheeses, season with cracked black pepper and toss well to mix.
• Drizzle the bread crumb mixture with the olive oil to moisten the crumbs, and mix well with your hands to incorporate.
• Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture on each slice and roll up, tucking in the sides as you go, spring roll fashion, to secure the filling inside. Some veal rolls will be longer than others, and can be cut in 1/2 to even out. Save the extra rolls to make 1 more skewer.
• Top each veal roll with 1 fresh bay leaf and 1 red onion wedge, and then place 3 of the topped rolls on 1 skewer, so that each skewer has 3 of everything on it.
• You should make 12 skewers with 3 rolls per skewer, by using the extra meat you trimmed from the longer rolls.
• Place on a pregreased hot grill, and grill for about 2 minutes on each side, brushing again with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• If you do not have a grill, you can place under the broiler about 8 to 10 inches from the flame, and watch carefully, cooking for 2 minutes per side.

GRILLED CHICKEN INVOLTINI

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Move the coals to the side so that one part of the grill has indirect heat.
• In a small bowl stir together the olive oil, parsley, lemon zest and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate small bowl, mix together the salt, oregano and red pepper flakes.
• Lay the chicken cutlets flat on a cutting board, lengthwise, and season all sides with the salt mixture. Place a piece of prosciutto on each cutlet. Fold each piece of provolone in half and place on top of the prosciutto. Follow with 1 sundried tomato.
• Working one at a time, roll the chicken up, in a continuous spiral roll, and seal by sticking 2 parallel skewers through the roll. Proceed with the remaining chicken, sticking 2 rolls on each pair of skewers for easy flipping. Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil and grill starting directly over the coals. Sear the chicken on all sides flipping as needed, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Move the skewers to indirect heat and continue to cook until cooked through, about an additional 10 minutes or. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Remove the skewers from the involtini, slice and serve, drizzled with the parsley oil.
