MY OTHER RECIPES

If you don’t have a grill, you can still make this Grilled Chicken Avocado Salad using a cast iron grill pan:

I’m not going to lie. Almost every time we have grill meat, chicken and fish in my home, my husband is the one who makes it because he enjoys to BBQ. On the other hand I don’t like to use our grill as much. So, when I feel like eating a grill chicken I use my cast iron grill pan for stovetop. I love mine because it’s very safe to use on all types of heat sources, including gas, electric, and induction, and oven safe up to 500F. It’s very resistant and dishwasher safe, which is always a plus, right? It’s made in France and the quality of this grill is amazing. And it definitely has the best price when you compare with the other grill pans in the market. Check it out at Amazon.
