    1/4 tsp
  • Caparzo Sangiovese Toscana

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high, about 425°F, for 10 minutes; clean and lightly oil the grates without adding extra cooking oil.
  2. Pound 12 oz chicken breast fillets to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Mix 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; coat the 12 oz chicken in the mixture and marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. While the 12 oz chicken marinates, cut 12 oz tomatoes into wedges and thinly slice 2 green onions. Toss the 12 oz tomatoes and 2 green onions with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt.
  4. Grill the marinated 12 oz chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side, closing the lid between turns, until lightly charred and the thickest part reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest the grilled 12 oz chicken for 5 minutes, then slice it across the grain; allow the mixture containing 12 oz tomatoes to stand during the rest so its juices form a light dressing.
  6. Plate 6 oz sliced chicken per person and spoon 6 oz tomatoes per person, along with their herb dressing, beside the chicken.

Drink pairing: A bright Sangiovese, including Kirkland Signature Toscana, complements the smoky chicken and ripe tomatoes.

Wine picks:

  • Caparzo Sangiovese Toscana $17.99 1 bottle
  • Il Bastardo Sangiovese di Toscana $12.99 1 bottle

Why it works: The smoky paprika-coriander chicken and juicy, lemony tomato relish favor bright, savory Sangiovese with fresh acidity. Caparzo brings a more polished Tuscan expression, while Il Bastardo offers an affordable, fruit-forward alternative that will stay lively alongside the cilantro and grilled char.
