Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Dijon
  • 1/2 tsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp Worcestershire
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings
  • 2 romaine hearts, halved lengthwise
  • Nonstick spray
  • Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil.

  2. Puree buttermilk, yogurt, vinegar, 1 tbsp. oil, Dijon, garlic, honey, Worcestershire and 1/4 tsp. salt in a mini food processor. Add blue cheese and pulse until combined but small chunks remain; season with pepper.

  3. Toss chicken with 1 tsp. oil and 1/2 tsp. salt to coat.

  4. Thread onion rings onto two metal skewers. Coat both sides of onions and romaine halves with nonstick spray.

  5. Grill chicken, covered, until grill marks appear and cooked through, 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest 5 minutes, then slice. Grill onion rings, covered, until tender and charred, 3-4 minutes per side, then separate into individual rings.

  6. Grill romaine, uncovered, cut sides down, until edges char and outer leaves wilt slightly, about 1 minute; flip and grill 1 minute more.

  7. Serve romaine immediately with chicken and onions; drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with parsley.
