Cedar Plank Chicken
4 halves chicken breast -- boneless skinless
4 individual cedar planks
Marinade:
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
Preparation:
Soak the cedar planks in water for several hours. Prepare
the marinade, mixing well; spread on both sides of chicken.
Place chicken on a plate. Marinate at room temperature for
15 minutes or for several hours in the refrigerator. Grill,
uncovered, over medium coals, turning once, after 4 minutes.
Prepare the planks by removing them from the water and wiping
olive oil on the "smooth" side of the plank. After
both sides of the chicken have been grilled, place chicken
on the cedar planks (oiled side up) and grill, covered,
until the planks are smoking and the chicken juices run
clear. The cedar will add a wonderful savoury flavour to
the chicken.
