Appetizer

  1. 1

    Make the Tomato Mixture

    Chop the fresh tomatoes and basil leaves. In a bowl, combine them with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.

    Toast the Bread

    Drizzle olive oil over the bread slices and toast them in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    While the chicken is grilling, wash the asparagus and toss it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill alongside the chicken during the last 5 minutes.

    Once cooked, serve the chicken and asparagus with lemon wedges on the side.
