The One that Started it All

This sounds conceited but this recipe is titled "Chicken Kirsten".  I did not name it, my husband Thor did.  But it has stayed that name for over 10 years, as well as one of my favorite recipes to tweak and perfect.  I believe that the best variation on my infamous recipe is as follows...enjoy!

Chicken Kirsten

Boneless Skinless chicken Breasts (1 per person)
2 Avocados
2 cups Caesar Dressing (prepared is just fine)
Grated Parmesan Cheese

Pour 1 cup of Caesar Dressing over the Chicken and grill on the barbecue until done.  Mix together the avocado, remaining Caesar dressing and top over chicken.  Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

Voila! Eat it and enjoy...particularly with these 2 side dishes...

Grilled Caesar Salad

1 head Romaine Lettuce, bottom cut and halved lengthwise
1 Tbsp EVOO
1 cup Caesar Dressing
Grated Parmesan Cheese

Drizzle EVOO on the inside of the Romaine and place on the grill over med-low heat.  Grill until slightly wilted...about 6-7 minutes.  Remove and chop and toss with dressing and cheese.  Enjoy!

Summer Corn Salad

4 ears of Corn (white or yellow)
1/2 cup Challenge brand Tuscan butter
1/3 cup feta cheese

Put corn, husk and all on grill.  Grill for about half and hour over medium heat.  Remove and shuck being cautious that it's hot.  Shear corn into a bowl and mix with the other ingredients, making sure the butter melts as you stir.  Serve hot or cold.


I hope you all enjoy these dishes, they are some of my family's favorites!

Cheers!
