Recipe by Amelia Saltsman Here, grilled chicken turns into a fiesta-style main course. Use leftover canned chipotles to flavor mayonnaise for sandwiches, or butter for chops and steaks.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds boneless chicken breast halves with skin 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano 3 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel, divided 2 garlic cloves, pressed Freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 pounds large carrots, peeled, cut on deep diagonal into 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick slices 3/4 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chiles* Coarse kosher salt 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided 1 1/2 teaspoons honey 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 4 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled

Instructions

Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound with meat mallet to 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness. Place chicken in 11 x 7 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with oregano, 2 teaspoons lemon peel, garlic, and pepper. Turn to coat. Cover and let stand 1 hour at room temperature. Fill large bowl halfway with ice cubes and water. Cook carrots in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Immediately place carrots in bowl of ice water to cool. Drain carrots; pat dry. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Toss carrots, 1 tablespoon oil, and chipotle chiles in large bowl; sprinkle lightly with coarse salt. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill, along with carrots. Grill chicken until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Grill carrots until tender and grill marks appear, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to cutting board. Transfer carrots to large bowl. Drizzle carrots with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and honey. Add cilantro and remaining 1 teaspoon lemon peel; toss to coat. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Slice chicken on diagonal. Arrange on platter, surround with grilled carrots, and sprinkle with crumbled feta. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice over and serve. Dried, smoked jalapeños in a spicy tomato sauce called adobo; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.
