This recipe was thought to be tasty and low-calories at the same time. Instead of eating grilled chicken (one of the classic of the low-calories diets) on its own, I decided to use few cherries I had at home to make a sweet cream (that is really good with white meat) but flavoured with a sweet Lambrusco from my city that at my home is never missing.
Time of cooking
30 minutes + standing
Servings
3
What did I use
a little pot, a cutting board, a grilled, a blender
Ingredients
Chicken breast: 6 thin slices
Cherry: about 30
Sweet Lambrusco: half a glass
Salt/pepper
Lemon balm: few leaves
Olive oil: 1 spoon
Zucchini: 3
How did I do
I took out the seeds and the stalks from the cherries, I washed them and I cut them roughly.
I browned them few minutes in the hot oil at midium-fire. I added wine and lowered the fire.
I let it cook for about 10 minutes. I added salt and pepper and I put everything in the blender. I let it cool for few minutes.
This sauce is good both lukewarm as cold, while warm is not really at its best.
I reheated the grilled and I grilled the zucchini cleaned, washed and cut in rounds tight about half a centimeter. I added salt and pepper and I turned off the fire.
I put salt and pepper on the chicken slices on both sides and cooked them a pair of minutes both sides at high fire.
I cut them in little slices and mince the lemon balm, keeping few whole leaves for the final decoration.
It was time to plate my meal: I put a pair of spoons of sauce on the serving plate, making a circle. I put the cut chicken breast on it and the slices of zucchini as well and I spreaded everything with the minced lemon balm, decorating with the whole leaves.
Buon appetito!
