Serve this moist, juicy chicken with noodles or fried rice and thick slices of fresh garden tomatoes drizzled with Asian vinaigrette. Oven-baking planks are usually at least 1½-inch (4 cm) thick and have a carved shallow center that is perfect for saucing food while it sits on the plank. They should be used over indirect heat on the grill.
Serves 4
- Alder, cedar or oak plank, soaked for at least 1 hour
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Wasabi slather
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons grated gingerroot
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- In a food processor, combine all the ingredients of the wasabi slather ; pulse until smooth.
- Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat dry.
- Place on plank, leaving a bit of space between each piece ; spread slather evenly over chicken and around the edges, touching the plank to seal the chicken.
- Prepare a dual-heat fire, hot on one side and medium-low on the other side, in your grill.
- Place plank over the hot fire for 3 to 4 minutes, or until plank begins to smoke and pop ; move plank over the medium-low fire and close the lid.
- Plank for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a breast registers 165F (74C).
BON APPÉTIT
