Grilled Chicken

  • Preheat your cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the olive oil to the cast iron skillet, and put the chicken in skin side down (if it has skin) and sear for 8-10 minutes until golden. Flip, and cook another 5-8 minutes until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165ºF.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and rest for 5 minutes.

Balsamic Berry Salsa

  • Combine all the ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl, and toss to combine. Taste, and add more honey/salt/balsamic/mint to suit your personal taste.

  • Leftovers will keep for 1 week in an airtight container.
