When you’re ready to grill, preheat the grill to medium. Add the chicken and grill until cooked through, maybe 6 minutes per side. Tent and let rest a couple of minutes.

Vanilla-Buttermilk Pastry Cream
Makes: About 1 cup
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 large egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1/4 vanilla bean,
split, seeds scraped and reserved)
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Combine sugar, flour,
and salt in a small mixing bowl. Whisk gently to break up any lumps, and set
aside. Prepare an ice water bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and water;
set aside.
2.
Combine buttermilk and
egg yolks in a small saucepan and whisk until smooth. Whisk in dry ingredients
and place the pan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is
thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes.
3.
Remove from heat, and
stir in vanilla extract or reserved vanilla seeds. Transfer pastry cream to a
small bowl nestled in the ice water bath and let cool completely, stirring
occasionally to help it cool faster
