GRILLED CHICKEN PAILLARDS WITH MINT SALAD



Grilled Chicken Paillards with Mint Salad image

The high heat of a grill means that pounded chicken breasts (paillards) cook in a flash and don't have time to dry out. You can buy thin cutlets, which are pricier, or flatten the chicken yourself, as we do here. A mint salad rounds out the meal.
