This step gives the salt a chance to create tiny pockets in the meat for the juices to collect into as it cooks. A zesty, Thai-inspired cucumber relish that you can chop up while you wait adds a cooling crunch and splash of color to the finished dish. Ingredients 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 pounds total), pounded ½ inch thick Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 3 mini cucumbers, chopped (1 cup) 1 scallion, thinly sliced ½ red jalapeño (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), halved and thinly sliced ¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar Vegetable oil, for grill 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, for serving Directions Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes, or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours. Meanwhile, combine cucumbers, scallion, jalapeño, vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt. Heat grill to medium‐high; lightly brush grates with vegetable oil. Rub chicken with olive oil; transfer to grill. Cook about 2 minutes, then rotate chicken 45 degrees (to create crosshatch marks) and continue cooking another 2 minutes. Flip and grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a platter; let stand 10 minutes. Serve with cucumber relish and mint. Rate it Print
