Marinated Chicken

Spezia Mashed Potatoes

Porcini Sauce

Asparagus

Method

Marinated Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Spezia Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, Spezia seasoning mix, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Porcini Sauce

  1. 6

    Rehydrate the Porcini Mushrooms

    In a small bowl, soak dried porcini mushrooms in warm water for about 20 minutes. Drain and chop finely.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent. Stir in rehydrated porcini mushrooms and sauté for another minute.

  3. 8

    Finish the Sauce

    Add chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Asparagus

  1. 9

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and rinse under cold water.

  2. 10

    Cook the Asparagus

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add asparagus, sprinkle with salt, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
