GRILLED THAI CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HERB-LEMONGRASS CRUST
Before chopping the lemongrass, be sure to cut off the spiky green top and enough of the bottom to eliminate the woody core. Peel off a few of the outer layers until you're left with just the tender heart of the stalk. Though these breasts are great served hot off the grill, they're also fine served cold in the coming days, either plain or sliced atop a salad. From Fine Cooking. Marinate time not included.

Steps:
- Combine 1-1/4 cups of the cilantro with the coconut milk, lemongrass, basil, chiles, garlic, salt, brown sugar, pepper, and coriander in a food processor or blender and purée until smooth.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in a nonreactive baking dish or other container large enough to accommodate them in a snug single layer. Pour the marinade over the breasts and turn to coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Heat a gas grill to medium high or prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire. Grill the chicken (covered on a gas grill) until it has good grill marks on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken (covering the grill) and continue to cook until firm to the touch and completely cooked through (check by making a slice into one of the thicker breasts), 5 to 6 more minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.

GRILLED STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
This recipe for grilled stuffed chicken breasts is an easy, tasty way to make your veggies work for you. Get creative. I like how efficiently the vegetables and spices flavor the chicken. This allows you to cook the chicken (not the marinating sauce!) and let the flavor come from the inside.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
- Stir bell pepper, onion, and garlic together in a small bowl with salt and pepper.
- Lay a chicken breast flat onto your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a pocket in the chicken breast through a 2-inch slit in the side. Repeat with the remaining chicken breast. Stuff chicken breasts evenly with the vegetable mixture.
- Cook on the preheated grill until visibly cooked on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Flip and brush with olive oil. Continue to grill until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:
- Whisk 1/4 cup rice vinegar with 2 teaspoons sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the chicken and carrot, season with salt to taste and set aside.
- Fill a large bowl with warm water. Working with 2 sheets of rice paper at a time (keep the others covered with a barely damp cloth to prevent curling), immerse the papers in the warm water until slightly softened (about 15 seconds). Remove and spread out on a clean surface or cutting board. Pat dry with a towel to remove excess water.
- Lay 2 pieces of lettuce over the bottom third of the rice paper, leaving about 1/2 inch clear on the edges. Place about 1/3 cup of the chicken-and-carrot mixture on the lettuce, top with 4 to 5 pieces of cucumber and scallion, several mint leaves and about 1 heaping tablespoon of rice.
- Roll up the paper halfway into a cylinder. Fold both edges in to tuck while continuing to roll the paper to seal. Place the rolls on a plate covered with a damp towel so they stay moist as you prepare the remaining rolls. Cut the rolls in half.
- Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of water and the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and 2 teaspoons sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Serve the rolls with the dipping sauce immediately.
