Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.
- Lightly coat chicken breasts with cooking spray and sprinkle with poultry seasoning. Grill chicken 12 minutes or until fully cooked (165 degrees), turning once. Lightly coat watermelon slices with cooking spray. Grill watermelon just until grill marks form, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken and watermelon to a cutting board; cover chicken loosely with foil and let stand 5 minutes. Let watermelon stand until cool enough to handle; chop into cubes.
Add watermelon to fruit in bowl and toss to combine. Serve chicken topped with grilled fruit salsa. Sprinkle with basil.
