Top grilled chicken with baby greens for a surprisingly different dinner. In this recipe baby greens, also known as field greens or mesclun, are sauteed with garlic as a colorful topping for chicken. If you can't find the baby greens in the supermarket, you can use a soft lettuce such as bib.
Sauteing the greens for a minute enhances the flavor while retaining some of its crunch.
Potatoes usually take about 20 minutes to saute. I microwave them first and then saute them in the same skillet used for the chicken. It saves cooking and washing up time.
Helpful Hints:
_ Any type of waxy potato such as yellow or creamers can be used.
_ Use a resealable plastic bag for marinating. To turn meat over, simply flip over the bag. It, also, saves washing a bowl.
_ The heat is up to you. Add more cayenne if you like the potatoes really hot.
Countdown:
_ Marinate chicken.
_ Prepare remaining ingredients.
_ Microwave potatoes.
_ Saute chicken.
_ Saute potatoes using same skillet as chicken.
