Christian's Spicy Swiss Chicken

Ok, so Marilyn had to play in orchestra all afternoon, leaving me to feed the kids. Feeling the need for something a little different, we experimented and came up with a very good chicken recipe (sorry, no picture - it was all eaten before we thought about it). Here's what we did:
  • 4 chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1-2 hot red peppers, minced
  • 3 Tbsp virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 3-4 fresh tomatoes, sliced
  • 4 slices swiss cheese (better if you're slicing it yourself off a thick slab)
  • Adobo (or salt & pepper)
Basically, we started by thawing the chicken. While that was going on, I minced all the garlic, hot peppers, and rosemary, and then mixed it in with the olive oil to form a fairly thick mixture (this is what we'll use to baste the chicken while its cooking). Put the chicken on a hot grill, and spoon the mixture onto the chicken. Season w/ Adobo (Adobo is a Peurto-Rican seasoning that goes good on just about everything).

Once the chicken is cooked about half way through, scrape off the mixture (back into the bowl, so you have enough for the other side), flip the chicken, and then reapply the mixture (this time you will leave it on for good). Season again, then lay the tomatoes on the chicken. When the chicken is almost done, layer the swiss cheese on top, wait till it melts, and serve piping hot!

Viola! Christian's Spicy Swiss Chicken. I'll bet this would go really well with fresh vegetables cooked on the grill, along with a nice glass of chilled white wine! Next time I make it, I'll add a picture of it as well...
