Ingredients

Balsamic Dijon Chicken

  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed or 4 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

  • 4–6 chicken breasts or thighs, pounded to equal thickness

Pita Crisps

  • 12 mini pita breads

  • olive oil, to drizzle

  • coarse salt

Fresh Tomato Salsa

  • 4 tomatoes, thinly sliced

  • 4 tablespoons fresh, cleaned parsley

  • 4–6 cloves garlic, crushed or 4-6 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 1 lemon, juiced

  • drizzle of olive oil

  • pinch of salt

Serving Options

  • sundried tomato spread

  • hummus

  • techinah

  • olive dip

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

1.

In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine balsamic vinegar, sugar, honey, one tablespoon oil, soy sauce, mustard, chili flakes, black pepper, garlic, and lemon juice. Add chicken and marinate for at least one hour and up to overnight.

2.

Heat a grill pan or skillet and coat the bottom of the pan with oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for nine to 10 minutes, flipping halfway, or until golden and cooked through. (When sliced, the juices will run clear.) Cut into strips and set aside.

Tips:

The vinegar and lemon juice in the balsamic marinade tenderize the chicken, so let it marinate for as long as possible. For best results, marinate overnight.

Prepare the Pita Crisps

1.

Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice pitas in half through the pockets to create 24 thin rounds. Arrange on two nonstick baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake three to five minutes, until golden.

Prepare the Salsa

1.

In a bowl, combine tomatoes, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.

To Serve

1.

Spread each pita crisp with sundried tomato spread, hummus, techinah, or olive dip. Add a spoonful of salsa and three chicken strips. Serve hot!
