Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

When this recipe was first featured in June 2016, reviewers loved the unique layers of flavors that come from a spice rub on the chicken and a tart and sweet nectarine salsa.
Smarts: Summer is a great time to make fruit salsa, so feel free to make extra while you’re doing the chopping - nectarine salsa is great for dipping chips, topping salads or eating all on its own.

Make

If cooking on grill: Heat grill so that burners or coals are at high heat on one half of grill, leaving the other half for cooking with indirect heat. When grill is hot, clean grates and brush with cooking oil. Sear chicken on both sides over hottest part of grill. Transfer to indirect heat until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
If cooking on stovetop: Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then chicken to heated oil. Sear on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes each, until cooked through.
Serve chicken over slaw with nectarine salsa over the entire dish. Enjoy!
