Rolled Chicken Thighs with Greek Olive Tapenade and Sun Dried Tomatoes:

keepervodeflame

Tried something different with boneless skinless chicken thighs. Pounded them flat as I could between two pieces of plastic wrap. Then made a tapenade of chopped mixed Greek olives, roasted red peppers, garlic, and olive oil. Sprinkled the thigh with Montreal blend, spread on the tapenade along with some julienne cut sun dried tomatoes, and a thin cut piece of Sargento aged swiss cheese. Rolled up the thighs and tied them together with butchers twine.  Grilled on the main grate at 375 until well marked, then moved them to the second tier to finish to an IT of 165 -170. I made a simple sauce of sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, white wine, italian herbs, and garlic in the blender. I simmered it on the second tier next to the grilled chicken thighs.  Served with sliced avocados, red onion, sun burst tomatoes, feta cheese, Pistacio nuts,  and balsamic vinaigrette. Came out tasting amazing. This is a keeper in our family collection of cooks.

I was looking for a chicken thigh recipe with more of a "twang" than what I cooked this evening.  (enough smokey good1 f1lavor but not any acid / tart / zing.) 

Came across this recipe. 

Could you give me an idea of what your ratios on your tapenade and sauce might be?
