Savor the bold flavors of Cooper's Hawk Chicken Giardiniera—a succulent grilled chicken breast topped with a vibrant and tangy mix of spicy giardiniera vegetables. Served on a bed of creamy polenta and drizzled with a zesty sauce, this dish offers a delightful balance of heat and heartiness that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Marinate the Chicken

Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill or sauté the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Cook the Chicken

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the giardiniera by chopping assorted pickled vegetables (like carrots, cauliflower, and bell peppers) and mixing them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the Giardiniera

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced chicken topped with the giardiniera mixture.
