Kitchen Experiments: Lemon Thyme Chicken with Arugula Salad

I was home sick yesterday and since I could not focus on reading, I spent the bulk of the day watching TV. Nothing in particular, just quite a bit of zapping.

And then Jamie Oliver caught my eye. He was making rosemary chicken kebabs with a spinach, citrus and feta salad. I was still not 100% focused so I do not recall all the ingredients, but it stuck with me. Having been inspired yesterday, I tried my own hand at chicken skewers.

I marinated the chicken in garlic, thyme, lemon juice, olive oil and salt.

I let the chicken marinade for a couple of hours before threading the pieces on wooden skewers.  And then onto the grill pan.

While the chicken was grilling, I began the salad prep: sliced a bosc pear, crumbled some blue cheese and tossed it with arugula and a balsamic dressing.

Once the chicken was cooked, I removed it from the skewers et voilà!

Bon appétit!
