Double Duty Grilled Chicken is what’s on the menu tonight! Well, I had it last week so I could take the pictures and write this post…LOL…but it could be what you have tonight!

To get the first meal going I start with the corn so it can be soaking during prep time. I grill enough corn for this meal and 1 or 2 more ears for the next meal.

Grilling Corn in the husk…I pull back the husk but leave it attached. I grab the silk end and break it off of the ear which will pull most of the silk away at the same time. Grab any pieces of silk that are still hanging on and remove. Bring the husk back up and around the ear of corn. Soak the whole corn with husk in a big bowl full of water for 20 to 30 mins. This will keep the husk from burning and the corn moist during grilling. I also like to place a piece of foil on the grill for added protection.

Prep Time

Get some bacon frying….You will want to fry up enough bacon for 2 meals.

Everything I prepare for this first meal will be used for another meal later in the week too. Keep in mind how much you will need for both meals combined.

Next on the agenda is the Double D Chicken Breast that I split in half. Click on the link for easy to follow instructions on doubling your chicken breast.

Double Duty Grilled Chicken Salad Bar on a platter idea at https://easypeasypleasy.com

It’s a salad bar on a platter. This works great for my family since we all like different toppings. I put the greens down. Then I add the sliced grilled chicken that I grilled earlier in the week. Finally, I add all the different toppings around the outside.
