Grilled Chicken with Shredded Mesclun SaladRomulo Yanes

This recipe serves 4 as a main course if you set aside 2 chicken breasts for another meal. Otherwise, it serves 6.

Cooks' notes:

• If you aren't able to grill outdoors, chicken can be roasted, skin sides up, in an oiled foil-lined large shallow baking pan in middle of a preheated 500°F oven until skin is crisp and chicken is cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes total. • If making the lettuce wraps (recipe follows), set aside 2 cooked breast halves. Cool to room temperature, then chill, covered with plastic wrap, up to 3 days.
