Raw fennel adds an extra-crunchy, slightly herbal je ne sais quoi to this refreshing salad. Use a mandoline to get super-thin, cheffy slices that soak up the lemon dressing.

Coat a barbecue rack or grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Discard the marinade in the container. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.
