Grilled Chicken with Rhubarb Relish

 Since we have a very plentiful supply of rhubarb & wanting to use it as often as possible I went on a search for new & interesting recipes to use it in. Found this one & was excited to try it, so Daren & I had a date night at home Friday & cooked dinner together.
  Our menu for the evening was Grilled Chicken with Rhubarb Relish, Grilled Asparagus, Sweet Potato Fries & fresh garden salad.
  Daren mastered the grill while I made the fries, salad & the relish for the chicken.

Grilled Chicken with Rhubarb Relish

Chicken:

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

olive oil

salt & pepper to taste

Sprinkle chicken with salt & pepper. Brush with lemon juice & oil. Grill until done approx. 6 minutes per side.

Relish:

3 cups rhubarb, chopped

3/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1 cup orange juice

1-2 jalapenos, seeded & chopped

2 shallots, minced

Bring all of the relish ingredients to a boil; reduce heat & simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook about 10 minutes until it is thick. Cool. Serve over top of the grilled chicken

 The final verdict; Daren was not really that impressed, but I thought is was quite tasty...so I don't know how often I'll be making it but it was fun to try using rhubarb in something other than dessert recipes. And we had a great evening at home together! =)

 Blessings on your day!
