GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS, CAPERS AND OLIVES
The key to a moist, juicy grilled boneless chicken breast is simple but crucial: Keep the heat moderate and don't overcook the chicken. Skin-on chicken is ideal. (It's not always easy to find; sometimes you'll see skin-on breasts that have breastbone and ribs attached, which you can easily remove. Or ask a butcher.) If boneless, skinless chicken is your only option, that's fine, but proceed with care and adjust the cooking time on the grill to about 3 minutes per side. Cook the chicken breasts just before making the salad and let them rest for a few minutes when they come off the grill, so juices can redistribute. Slice the meat on an angle while it's still slightly warm.

Steps:
- Marinate the chicken: Season breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with lemon zest, rosemary, garlic, olive oil and red pepper flakes. Smear seasoning on meat to coat well and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes. (You may season the meat up to 4 hours ahead and store covered in refrigerator.)
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir together lemon juice, garlic, mustard and capers. Whisk in olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Make the olive paste: Chop olives roughly with a food processor. Transfer to a bowl and stir in garlic and olive oil. (May be prepared in advance; keeps 1 week, refrigerated.)
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Simmer beans for 2 minutes or until tender, then drain and spread on a towel-lined baking sheet to cool.
- Meanwhile, grill the chicken: Lay skin-side down on a medium-high grill. If the fire is too hot, the skin will scorch - you want it to brown gradually. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the skin side, until skin is golden. Flip the chicken and cook on the other side for 2 minutes or so, until firm to the touch when pressed with index finger. (If using skinless breasts, reduce cooking time to about 3 minutes per side.) Remove chicken to a platter and let rest for 10 minutes.
- To assemble salad: Put beans in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and dress with vinaigrette, coating well. Transfer beans to a large platter or individual plates. Cut breasts on an angle into 1/2-inch slices and lay on top. Quickly dab about 1 teaspoon olive paste on each breast and spread on meat with back of spoon. Surround with quartered egg and scattered olives, if using. Sprinkle with parsley and basil.

GRILLED CHICKEN MARBELLA PANZANELLA
This recipe is sponsored by Do Good Chicken. In a lighter take on the trendy retro dish, chicken breasts and fresh seasonal stone fruit replace the usual quartered chicken and dried fruit. They're marinated in a caper-and-olive-flecked dressing, then grilled and served on a bed of flame-kissed greens and toasted bread. The extra dressing becomes the classic savory-sweet white wine sauce that pulls all the flavors of this salad together.

Steps:
- Whisk the olives, olive brine, vinegar, apricot preserves, capers and brine, brown sugar, oregano, 1/3 cup of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Combine 1/4 cup of the dressing with the fruit in another medium bowl, cover and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Combine 1/4 cup of the remaining dressing with the chicken in a third medium bowl, cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Reserve the remaining dressing.
- Preheat a large grill pan or a grill over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and softened but not brown, about 1 minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved dressing, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
- Grill the chicken and fruit, flipping the chicken halfway through and turning the fruit frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and the fruit is caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
- Grill the bread, flipping occasionally, until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and tear into bite-size pieces when cool enough to handle. Right before serving, grill the lettuce, turning occasionally, until slightly wilted and charred in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the serving platter and toss with the torn bread. Slice the chicken and arrange it, along with the fruit, over the bread and greens. Drizzle with the warm dressing and season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND ZITI SALAD

Steps:
- In an oiled ridged grill pan heated over moderately high heat or on a rack set 4 to 6 inches over glowing coals grill the chicken breasts for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until they are springy to the touch, and transfer them to a dish. Sprinkle the chicken with the lemon juice and let it cool. In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the ziti until it is tender. In a colander refresh the ziti under cold water and drain it well.
- In a large bowl toss together the ziti, the bell peppers, the celery, the onion, the olives, and the dill. Remove the chicken from the dish, reserving the juices, slice it thin, and add it to the ziti salad. To the juices in the dish add the vinegar, the mayonnaise, the mustard, and salt and black pepper to taste, whisk the mixture well, and add the oil in a stream, whisking until the dressing is emulsified. Add the dressing to the salad, toss the salad well, and season it with salt and black pepper.
GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PARSLEY-OLIVE SAUCE
Boneless, skinless thighs are a boon to grilling because they're almost impossible to overcook. Breasts are a bit trickier because they are low in fat and can dry out quickly. But this technique works beautifully for both. If you have the time, dry brine in advance (see Tips). When ready to eat, grill the chicken longer on the first side to get a little color (if the breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them until they're even first), finish cooking on the other side, then plunge it into a bright sauce for up to 30 minutes for added juiciness. The sauce here is made with parsley, olives, chile, lemon juice and small bits of lemon rind for tartness and texture, but adjust flavorings as you wish. Serve the chicken with plenty of sauce, and perhaps a salad, grilled bread or vegetables. (Save some for the next day's lunch, too; the smokiness will develop as it sits.)

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tips.)
- While the grill's heating, pat the chicken dry. If the breasts are uneven in their thickness, pound until even with a heavy skillet or meat mallet. Set aside to air-dry. In a rimmed dish or wide, shallow bowl, stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, parsley, olives, olive brine and chile. Using the small holes on a box grater, grate 2 teaspoons zest from the lemon. Add to the bowl, squeeze in half the lemon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons juice), and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges for serving.
- When you're ready to grill, season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, then lightly coat with olive oil. Take the chicken, sauce, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked in olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the chicken until well browned on one side and it easily releases from the grates, 4 to 6 minutes. (If flare-ups occur, move the chicken to an area of the grill where there are no flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) Flip and cook until the breasts register 155 degrees in the thickest part and the thighs register 165 degrees, 2 to 3 minutes for breasts and 4 to 5 minutes for thighs.
- Transfer the chicken to the sauce and turn to coat. Let rest for at least 5 minutes and up to 30. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
