Grilled Chicken Brazilian Style Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN HEARTS

Steps:

• Make sure your grill is clean and well oiled to avoid the skewers from sticking to the grill, then preheat your grill to 350F.
• Trim any excess fat and long arteries from the top part of the chicken hearts, if present.
• Add the clean hearts to a bowl, and season them with the sal grosso style rock salt. Stir and assemble them on skewers.
• Then, place the skewers on the hot grill over direct heat and grill for about 5-10 mins, turning them halfway through to make sure they seal evenly on both sides.
• After sealing them, move the skewers away from the flames into indirect heat for them to finish cooking another 15-20 mins, depending on the size of your hearts.

PHILLY-STYLE CHICKEN CHEESE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a work surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness.
• Cook chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Shred chicken; season with seasoned salt.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chicken; cook until heated through.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler, or preheat a toaster oven.
• Spread chicken mixture on the bottom half of each hoagie roll. Lay 2 pieces of provolone cheese side-by-side over chicken mixture.
• Place hoagie rolls under broiler or in toaster oven and cook until provolone cheese is melted and bread is crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on top half of each hoagie roll. Top each half with 2 tomato slices and 1/2 of the lettuce. Fold halves together and roll each hoagie tightly in foil, using a knife to push any filling back inside. Set aside for flavors to blend, 1 to 2 minutes.
