2 Grill Prep
Fuel: Charcoal: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets.
Pellets: We recommend Kingsford® Grillmaster’s Choice Hardwood Pellets.
Amount: 0.5 to 1 lb.
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: Charcoal: 450°F (High Heat) / Pellets: 450°F
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
3 The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place your chicken on the grill and cook for 2–4 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Then, remove your chicken from the grill and set it aside to rest.
To make your salad dressing, stir the remaining olive oil with the lemon juice and minced garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss the arugula and fennel with the dressing to taste (you may not need all of the dressing); then add shaved cheese and gently toss to combine.
To assemble, place each chicken breast on a plate and top with a portion of the salad. Serve immediately.
