Grilled chicken seasoned with oregano and lime zest pairs perfectly with a salad made of melon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, lime juice, feta cheese and mint with a zippy flavor from minced jalapeño pepper. The addition of mint to the fruit adds a refreshing flavor to the sweetness of the fruit. Bone-in skinless breasts are a great cut for grilling since the rib bones insulate the meat on one side, helping it stay moist. But if you like you can use 5-ounce skinless boneless breasts. Just decrease the cooking time by about half.
