Lemon Grilled Chicken with Sun-dried Tomato Dipping Sauce
Tuesday, February 12, 2013From our skinny table to yours ...
Doesn't everyone love a good dipping sauce? It gives each bite a powerful flavor punch, keeps each bite extra moist and let's be honest, it's just more fun to dip your dinner :)
Tonight we're making our lemon grilled chicken with a sun-dried tomato & basil dipping sauce. The sauce is deliciously thick and flavorful made with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese and a touch of extra virgin olive oil to create a creamy, thick texture. This is so good we could eat it by the spoonful! We served this up with a side of grilled asparagus (which we also dipped!) for the perfect easy & delicious weekday dinner.
Hope you enjoy!
