Chicken breasts are a terrific foundation for an easy-to-make dish that's sweet, salty, dilly, and—is this even a word?—grilly.

Cooks' note:

Chicken can be cooked in a hot grill pan over medium-high heat, turning once, 5 to 7 minutes total.

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped dill
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 pintcherry tomatoes, quartered

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .

    Step 2

    Step 3
