Marinated & Grilled Chicken with Bertolli Roasted Tomato Sauce

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

Source: http://bit.ly/9rfIY2

* Serves 8
* prep time: 5 minute(s)
* marinate time: 30 minute(s)
* cook time: 15 minute(s)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup Bertolli® Classico™ Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 2-1/2 lbs.)
1 jar Bertolli® Vidalia Onion with Roasted Garlic Sauce
2 tsp. grated lemon peel (optional) – I don’t see myself using this.
Directions:

* Combine lemon juice, Olive Oil, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper in large, shallow nonaluminum baking dish – like a glass one. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator, turning the chicken occasionally, up to 3 hours.
* Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Grill or broil until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
* Meanwhile, heat Sauce with lemon peel in small saucepan. Serve chicken with heated sauce.

I can’t see any reason not to also boil up some pasta, any shape really, whatever is around the house, to serve the chicken with. Since it’s not safe to reuse marinade that has held raw chicken, I’d probably get a second jar of the Bertolli sauce to warm up and serve over the pasta alongside the chicken.

Byron’s Hickory Smoked BBQ

Whether you’re feeding just your family or a big crowd, Byron’s Fully Cooked Pork BBQ is sure to please everyone! Made with slow cooked, hand-pulled pork mixed with a spicy sweet sauce, Byron’s is available in a four pound tray that serves up to 30 people, and in a pack of two 24 ounce trays for a smaller crowd.

Byron’s sent us the four pound tray for review, which seemed like an awful lot of barbecue, but once I pulled the tray out of the oven and we smelled it, the five of us couldn’t eat it fast enough! In addition to the shredded pork, there were bigger chunks that my husband claimed as his own :)

I served the barbecue on kaiser rolls with potato salad and raw veggies on the side for dinner the first night, served it again on rolls for lunch the next day, and then Chris and the boys finished up what was left for dinner that next night. Can you tell we really liked it?

Byron’s BBQ is available at Sam’s Club and BJ’s, check your local store for availability.
