Grilled Chicken, Iron Skillet Roasted Red Potatoes, Sauteed Zucchini

June 27, 2012 by susanelester

On the heel of an unusually cool Spring, Summer has arrived in Southern California!  So, we decided to have a simple dinner of grilled chicken.  We often grill a couple of extra pieces to use later for salad. pasta, risotto, etc.


Grilled Chicken


About 1/2 an hour before grilling, sprinkle chicken with Galena Street Rib and Chicken Rub and set aside.
On a grill, over medium heat, cook chicken for 6 -7 minutes on each side.








Iron Skillet Roasted Potatoes

John perfected these potatoes using a seasoned cast-iron skillet on the grill. 

1 pound assorted red potatoes, quatered
2 spring onions, quartered

Place in pan and coat in olive oil
Sprinkle with Tony Chacere’s Original Creole Seasoning

Place pan on the grill over a high flame, stirring potatoes every 10 minutes until they’re roasted brown and the onions are carmelized. 




Sauteed Zucchini

Slice 3-4 medium zucchini and place in a bowl.  Sprinkle with salt and let sit about 5 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium heat, sautee:
1/4 cup Olive Oil
Prepared Zucchini
1 bunch of green onions, chopped

 
Stir often to cook evenly, until tender.  Sprinkle with a scant teaspoon of sugar to cut the bitterness of the squash.  Top with grated parmesan cheese. 


Enjoy!

    I love Summer! Your grilled chicken dinner looks perfect for our warm weather;-) I’m trying the cast iron skillet on the grill, or maybe I can encourage my husband to attempt your husband’s technique, wouldn’t that be a time saver for me,lol!

    I actually love making potatoes in the skillet, I find it gives the most control over the crispiness (versus oven), so this recipe is right up my alley! Beautiful meal!
