Salt Chicken

Steamed Chicken marinated in salt and white wine.  This is such an easy dish that it has become a life saver whenever we are in the mood for more substantial savory snacks.  Or, it can easily serve as a main meal if paired with bread and/or vegetables.  It really consists of salt, white wine, some garlic cloves, and that's all.  Nothing fancy, just spartan simplicity of a good kind.  In fact, it has become such a staple around here that we make batches of it and eat it quite often.

It is quite light and refreshing.  Hence perfect for a hot summer day.  The dog days of summer seem to be upon us again, as the temperatures have been reaching into the upper 90's recently.  It is quite unfortunate, since we have had some much welcomed respites.  Well, one can't possibly make ice cream all the time to relieve oneself of the heat, or can one?  Sometimes one just needs to add a hint of protein to not ruin one's summer meals, no?
