Grill time is over, right? Not so! You can still throw some meat on fire when the snow is falling down. And if you want to do some heroic "winter grilling," we've got you covered here. A succulent chicken breast flavored with mojito lime seasoning goes on the grill with fresh poblano and green onion, perfect additions to the lime slaw. Summer may be over, but summer flavors not so.

2 Make the Slaw
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. When using an outdoor grill with enough room, feel free to cook all elements at once. Also, feel free to use a medium pan instead of grill pan or grill.

Flip chicken, and brush grilled side with mojito lime-oil. Cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4-6 minutes.Remove chicken to a plate.How to get pro-looking crosshatch marks on grilled meats: Imagine your grill is a clock and place meat on grill so tip points at 10 o'clock. After 2-3 minutes, rotate so tip points at 2, and cook another 2-3 minutes. Repeat on second side. -
5 Finish the Dish
Cut poblano halves into thin strips. Cut green onions into 1" pieces. Stir poblano and green onion pieces into slaw.
