Grilled Lemon Chicken with Cabbage and Corn Slaw

I can't believe August is over. I didn't get to post a lot of new recipes because I didn't get to cook as much. When the weather is nice it's always tempting to eat out. We were also out of town a lot. I hope I'll get to cook more in September. This was a super easy dinner and it was heart healthy. The total time to make it was only 20 minutes.


Ingredients:
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 small green cabbage (1/2 pound), cored and shredded
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup corn kernels (from 1 to 2 ears, or thawed if frozen)
4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions:
1.In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, 2 tablespoons of the oil, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the cabbage, bell pepper, and corn and toss to combine.
2.Heat grill to medium-high. Rub the chicken with the remaining teaspoon of oil and season with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the chicken, basting often with the remaining 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve with the slaw.
