  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Throughly rinse produce at pat dry. Halve romaine heart. Halve grape tomatoes. Mince garlic. Mince tarragon, reserving two sprigs for garnish. Quarter cucumber lengthwise, then cut into ⅛" slices. Rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Grill the Romaine

    Warm a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil cut side of romaine with olive oil and place on the hot grill for one minute (a method called “flash-charring”).

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Reduce heat of grill to medium. Lightly oil the grill to prevent sticking. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Set aside to rest.

  4. 4

    Make the Dressing

    Mix Greek yogurt, champagne vinegar, minced garlic, minced tarragon, and honey in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Divide into two small ramekins and place in refrigerator to chill before serving.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Divide sliced cucumbers and tomatoes evenly between two plates. Slice charred romaine halves lengthwise and place two quarters on each plate. Set cooked chicken breasts on top of romaine. Place a ramekin of dressing on each plate and garnish with reserved whole tarragon sprigs.
