GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ORANGE-ONION SALAD

Ok, I hope your grills, (outside or stovetop), are in working order because it is grillin' time for sure.  Today I have a great little combo plate that will surely bring smiles to the faces of your family, big or small.  Fresh and light, but satisfying.  Try this one tonight.  Did I mention it is also easy?

4 Chicken breast halves
4 Navel oranges
1 Red onion sliced thin
1 bag of Baby Arugula
2 garlic cloves sliced
Olive oil
Dried Oregano 1/2 tsp
Dressing from yesterday's blog

In a plastic bag put 1/4 cup of Olive Oil, the garlic, the oregano.  Add salt and pepper.  Give it a shake to mix.  Add the chicken and put in the refrigerator about 20 minutes.  Remove from the bag and grill until done.  On 4 plates, arrange a handful of arugula.  With a knife, starting at the top of the orange, slice down removing the skin.  When done, slice into slices 1/2" thick.  Use 1 orange for each plate.  Arrange slices on top of the arugula.  Top with very thin rings of red onion.  Sprinkle with orange dressing.  Slice each breast diagonally into about 5 pieces and top each salad.  Sprinkle each breast with a little of the dressing.

This is really a great summer dish.  Also good for entertaining.  Keeps you out of the kitchen and spending more time with your guests.

Thanks for stopping in today
