Perfect Pairing - Mahan Wines with Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken with Feta & Balsamic Asparagus
Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken with Feta & Balsamic Asparagus
This light and flavorful dish is a perfect match for Mahan Family Wines Sauvignon Blanc, offering a bright and zesty complement to the wine’s crisp acidity and citrus notes.
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
2 tablespoons of feta cheese
1 tablespoon of balsamic
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Prepare the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the Chicken:
Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
During the last few minutes of cooking, add the asparagus to the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
Serve:
Transfer the grilled chicken and asparagus to a serving platter.
Add feta and balsamic over the asparagus. Garnish chicken with lemon slices if desired.
Serve immediately alongside a chilled glass of Mahan Family Wines Sauvignon Blanc.
Enjoy this simple yet elegant meal that pairs beautifully with the vibrant flavors of our Sauvignon Blanc!
