Do I have to grill the chicken?
Nope! You can cook the chicken stovetop in a skillet or bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Time may vary depending on the chicken size. Chicken is cooked when thermometer it reads 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. If you don’t have a thermometer look for clear juices when chicken is pricked with a fork or knife.

I made this dish this evening for my wife and some friends. We all LOVED it! It’s visually pleasing and healthy, had a perfect combination of textures(radishes!), and carried a complex flavor profile. I think grilling the chicken made a big difference if that is an option. Thank you for sharing this excellent recipe!
