Steps:
- Preheat the Traeger Grill to 425°F.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season the chicken with thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter gets foamy and fragrant, add the chicken to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook without moving the chicken around for 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat slightly to medium. Flip and brown on the other side for about 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet, set on a plate to the side.
- Into the hot skillet, stir the balsamic and honey using a wooden spoon to pick up all the browned bits from the chicken. Add the thick slices of red onion, stir to coat. Cook the red onion until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, placing the chicken on top of the red onions, crispy skin up. Transfer the skillet to the hot Traeger Grill uncovered. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Add the grapes to the skillet and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Serve the chicken with pan sauce drizzled over the top alongside the caramelized onions, roasted grapes and a side veggie like roasted asparagus.

Steps:

- Place a breast in the Grape-Nuts mixture and turn, pressing to coat. Transfer breast to a 9X14 baking dish. Repeat for the other three breasts. Spray tops on each breast with a light coating of pan spray.
- Bake uncovered 30-40 minutes depending on breast size. Poke with your finger, if it bounces back, it is done.
- Broil for a few minutes to further brown the tops if desired.
- Let chicken sit for 5-10 minutes. Slice the chicken from the breasts and serve with lime wedges.
CRISPY GARLIC BREADCRUMB CHICKEN
While not identical to a pan-fried, breaded cutlet, if you want to eat tender, flavorful chicken with lots of crispy, crunchy bits, then this significantly less-messy method is for you. One of the keys to this technique is to use panko breadcrumbs, which are much larger and more jagged than regular, fine breadcrumbs. This method also allows us to introduce some additional flavor, and moisture, thanks to the 'glue' we use to attach the crumbs.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts. Sear, untouched, until bottoms release from the pan, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and let melt. Add panko bread crumbs. Cook and stir until breadcrumbs start to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and add parsley and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Set breading aside.
- Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread 'glue' over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon over the the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.
- Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.
