Grilled Chicken Paillard with Shaved Vegetable Salad and Basil Vinaigrette, ah, sounds delicious. But wait, what the heck is a paillard, you ask? Paillard simply refers to any meat pounded to an even thickness — think cutlets or schnitzel.

In this Grilled Chicken Paillard recipe, we take a wee shortcut and simply slice the chicken breast in half, lengthwise, creating two thinner pieces. Work smarter, not harder. The chicken cooks quickly, making this a go-to for a weeknight, but elegant enough to serve to guests.

But the Grilled Chicken Paillard isn’t complete without the Shaved Vegetable salad with Basil Vinaigrette. This salad is full of hormone-balancing ingredients, plus magnesium, healthy fats and protein.
