This simple herb-crusted grilled chicken recipe is easy to make and really highlights the summery flavors of the Herbes de Provence.

Prep Time: 30 minutes  ::  Cook Time: 20 minutes  ::  Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:
  ::  2 large (8 oz) boneless & skinless chicken breasts
  ::  2 tsp Herbes de Provence
  ::  1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  ::  Kosher salt, to taste
  ::  1/4 cup Honey Dijon Vinaigrette

Preparation:
  ::  Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then brush them with olive oil.

  ::  Season the breasts on both sides with the Herbes de Provence and Kosher salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.

::  Preheat oven to 350°F.  ::  Heat a grill pan until it is very hot. Or if cooking on an actual grill, heat it up to about medium.  ::  Grill the chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is golden brown on both sides.  ::  Transfer chicken breasts to an oven-safe dish or pan and finish cooking in the oven for around 15 minutes. When you see a bit of juice flow from the breasts, they're done. You can whisk this juice into the vinaigrette for more flavor.

  ::  Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest, covered in foil, for five minutes while you heat up the vinaigrette.

  ::  Heat the vinaigrette over medium heat in a sauté pan until it is slightly warm.

  ::  Slice the chicken breasts on the bias and serve with the warm vinaigrette.

Makes 4 portions.
