Cedar Planked Herb Chicken
This is a very simple and fast recipe. The cedar plank adds a smoky flavor to an already yummy combination of herbs on chicken or turkey breasts (thighs are ok too). The herbs can be varied according to taste. This recipe creates a pesto-like herb combo that is lovely for any occasion. Be creative with the presentation at the table by serving in the center of a heated dinner plate or arranged on the smoldering plank in the middle of the table.
The smoldering cedar smell will give your guests the signal that dinner is ready! Enjoy. |
