Dijon Herb Grilled Chicken with Little Gem Corn, Blue Cheese & Citrus Salad

This is one of the most delicious grilled chicken recipes you can make with such little effort. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 20 minutes or up to overnight, Then pop it onto a grill or a hot cast iron pan. During the summer I love to serve this with a big crunchy salad, in this case my little gem, corn, blue cheese & citrus salad. I use some fresh orange or grapefruit in the salad depending on what looks good at the store, and use the juice of the citrus in the vinaigrette as well. If you can't use little gems, you can use any farmer's market type lettuce, arugula, or whatever looks good at your local store!

The vinaigrette and the chicken marinade have a lot of the same ingredients, so you can use up more of what you buy at the store. If you're not a fan of blue cheese, you can skip it on the salad to make this salad dairy free or sub your other favorite cheese (feta or even fresh mozzarella would get my vote here). You can grill the corn if you like, but during the summer I actually prefer just fresh corn cut off the cob - one less thing to cook!

Serves 4 but scales up or down really easily. Leftover vinaigrette will keep in the fridge for 1 week, let come to room temp and give it a good shake before using again.
