If you've never had grilled romaine before, you're in for a treat. The lettuce caramelizes in the pan — highlighting its natural sweetness — as the center turns warm and creamy, and the crevices between the leaves serve as pockets to collect the basil vinaigrette.

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the chicken

Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Season the chicken with the chicken spice blend, salt and pepper.
In a 12-inch frying pan over medium high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken, skin-side-down, and cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Do not clean the pan. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet, skin-side up, and cook in the hot oven until the meat is no longer pink, about 15 minutes.

2

Make the tapenade

  • Finely chop the garlic, peppers, almonds, olives, and artichokes. Alternately, combine the ingredients in a food processor and pulse 2 or 3 times to make a coarse paste. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Chop the parsley.
  • Zest and juice the lemon.
Add the parsley and zest to the tapenade along with the 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Make the basil vinaigrette

  • Finely chop the basil.
In a small bowl, combine 1½ tablespoons of the lemon juice with 2 tablespoons oil and the basil. Season with salt.

4

Cook the romaine hearts

  • Slice the romaine hearts in half lengthwise.
Warm the same pan used to cook the chicken over medium-high heat. If the pan seems dry, add 1 teaspoon oil. Cook the romaine, cut side down, until browned and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.

Serve

Transfer the romaine hearts to serving plates. Top with the chicken breasts and the tapenade. Dress with the basil vinaigrette and serve.
