Chef’s Tip
Jalapeño White Balsamic adds flavor, not heat — the olive oil controls the spice level. Let the chicken rest briefly after grilling to keep it juicy, and taste the salad before serving to adjust brightness.
Flavor Variations
• Herbes de Provence Olive Oil — savory no-heat variation
• Garlic Infused Olive Oil — classic grilled-chicken flavor
• Add diced avocado for extra richness and cooling balance
Pairings
Rice, grilled vegetables, black beans, or a simple green salad.
