Ingredients

  • 5 large shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
  • 6 tablespoons canola oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus torn leaves for garnish

Method

  • Heat the grill to high.
  • Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with 4 tablespoons of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place on the grill, cap side down and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn the mushrooms over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
  • Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.
  • Whisk together the shallots, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and parsley in a medium bowl until combined and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the mushrooms and stir to coat.
  • Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Brush both sides of the chicken with the remaining canola oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place on the grill, skin side down and grill until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Flip over, reduce the heat of the grill to medium, close the cover and continue grilling until just cooked through, about 7 minutes longer.
  • Remove chicken from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve 1 breast per person topped with some of the shiitake vinaigrette.
  • Garnish with parsley leaves.
