GRILLED LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Roll lemons and limes on a cutting board to release the juices; cut in half and squeeze 1/2 of the juice onto chicken breasts. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon-pepper seasoning, and let marinate for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Toss lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions together in a large salad bowl.
• Turn marinated chicken over and sprinkle other side with remaining lemon-pepper seasoning.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

GRILLED LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken all over with salt and 1 1/2 tsp. pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium heat and brush grate with oil. Thinly slice lemon half into rounds. Heat butter and honey in a small saucepan until butter is melted and foaming, then remove from heat and add lemon slices.
• Grill chicken, skin side down, until skin is lightly charred and releases from grate without tearing, about 6 minutes. Turn chicken over and lightly brush with lemon butter. Cover grill and continue grilling chicken, brushing with lemon butter every 5 minutes or so, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 150°F, 25-28 minutes.
• Just before chicken is ready, cut remaining lemon into quarters and grill, cut side down, until charred and softened, 6-8 minutes. Transfer chicken and lemons to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes before carving chicken into pieces.
• To serve, squeeze grilled lemons over chicken and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper.
