Dressing

  • 240 milliliters mayonnaise
  • 160 milliliters buttermilk
  • 50 grams coarsely grated yellow onion (use the large holes on a box grater)
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed
  • ½ teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or pushed through a press
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each about 170 grams

  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 275 grams small cherry or grape tomatoes, each cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk the dressing ingredients. Place the chicken in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in 240 milliliters of the dressing. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the dressing, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate the remaining dressing.

  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180° to 230°C).

  • Remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off and discarding the excess dressing.

Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into chunks.
