Syrian Grilled Breast

Ingredients:

1 roaster boneless breast or 1 roaster thin-sliced boneless breast

2 tbl fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tbl fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried

1 sm clove garlic, minced

Salt and ground pepper to taste

1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Cooking Instructions:

Cut breast pieces in half, removing tenderloin pieces. Place pieces, including tenderloin pieces, between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4" thickness to form cutlets. Or use the already sliced roaster breast and skip the cutting and pounding. In a shallow dish combine lemon juice, olive oil, mint, garlic, salt and pepper. Add chicken to marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer, turning occasionally. Grill cutlets 4 to 5 inches above medium-hot coals for 2 to 3 minutes per side until cooked through, brushing often with the marinade. Sprinkle with pistachios before serving.
