8 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 2017 Spring ushers in grilling season Th e return of warm weather is synonymous with many things. For men and women who love to grill, spring marks a return to grilling their favorite foods and dining outdoors. Burgers and hot dogs may never go out of style, but plenty of additional foods can make for delicious grilled meals. Grilled chicken, for example, makes for a healthy meal the whole family can enjoy. Grilled chicken sandwiches, such as the following recipe for “Grilled Chicken Ciabatta with Romesco and Baby Greens” from Karen Adler and Judith Fertig’s “Th e Gardener & Th e Grill: Th e Bounty of the Garden Meets the Sizzle of the Grill” (Running Press), can make for a nice change of pace from more traditional grilling fare. Grilled Chicken Ciabatta with Romesco and Baby Greens Serves 4 2 4 1⁄2 2 loaves ciabatta or 4 ciabattini (ciabatta rolls), sliced in half lengthwise Olive oil, for brushing Fine kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to a 1⁄2-inch thickness recipe Romesco Sauce (see below) Small wedge (about 4 ounces) of Manchego or Parmesan cheese, for shaving cups baby greens Prepare a hot fi re in your grill. Brush the cut sides of the ciabatta with olive oil. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken, turning once, for 5 minutes total. Grill the ciabatta, cut sides down, until it has good grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes. Slather all the grilled sides of the ciabatta with the Romesco. Place the chicken breasts on the bottom half of the bread, shave some Manchego cheese over the chicken, then top with baby greens and the top half of the bread. If you’re using a loaf of ciabatta, you’ll have 2 chicken breasts on each loaf, so cut each loaf in half horizontally. If you’re using ciabattini, you’ll use 1 breast for each roll. Serve immediately.
