Chicken with green sauce and roasted tomatoes
  • 1
    To make green sauce, combine lemon juice and garlic in a bowl. Add oil in a thin stream, whisking continuously, until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in herbs and season to taste. Place chicken in a shallow dish and brush with one-third of green sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.

    Preheat barbecue on medium. Fold a sheet of foil in half to form a rectangle. Place tomatoes, onion and oregano in centre of foil and drizzle with oil. Wrap up to form a parcel. Cook for 15 minutes, until onion is soft. When ready to serve, open to let steam escape.

    Meanwhile, cook chicken on open grill for 4 minutes each side, until browned and cooked through. Serve chicken with remaining green sauce, tomatoes and crusty bread.

Notes

Try threading the tenderloins onto skewers to keep them from falling through the barbecue grill.
