Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
Whisk together barbecue sauce and lemon juice in a small bowl. Pour over chicken breasts and coat on both sides with a brush.
Turn off burners on one half of the gas grill. Set chicken on cool side of grill and close lid. Grill chicken for 10 minutes, turn and cook another 10 minutes or until the temperature of the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking prepare the salad by combing all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Serve salad with the grilled chicken pieces.
Helpful Tip
Watermelon and tomato are an unlikely, and surprisingly good, summer combination. The sweetness of the watermelon pairs nicely with the acidity of the tomatoes.
Optional: add 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar to salad.
