Preparation
Grill the chicken & jalapeño

- Drizzle the **jalapeño **with oil and season with S&P.
- Add the chicken* to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through.
- In the last 5 min., add the **jalapeño **to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 2 to 3 min. per side, until beginning to char.
- Transfer to a cutting board.
Mise en place

- Pick the mint leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
Grill the kohlrabi
