    Grilled nectarines and fresh blackberries turn into a summery salsa to top cumin-rubbed chicken and polenta in a dish that’s special enough for weeknight entertaining. Make it a meal: Serve with a spinach salad and a crisp glass of rosé.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon canola oil, divided
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
    • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • 1 16- to 18-ounce tube prepared plain polenta
    • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed
    • 2 nectarines, halved and pitted
    • 1 pint blackberries, coarsely chopped
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • Hot sauce to taste

    Directions

    1. 1Preheat grill to medium-high.
    2. 2Combine 1 tablespoon oil, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub 1 teaspoon of the mixture all over polenta. Rub the rest into both sides of chicken. Cut the polenta crosswise into 8 slices. Rub the cut sides of nectarine halves with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil.
    3. 3Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Place the chicken, polenta slices and nectarines on the grill. Grill the polenta until hot and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Grill the nectarines, turning occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes total. Grill the chicken, until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken and nectarines to a cutting board. Coarsely chop the nectarines. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
    4. 4While the chicken rests, combine the chopped nectarines, blackberries, cilantro, lime juice, hot sauce and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Layer the polenta, chicken and fruit salsa on 4 plates and serve.
    5. 5Tip: To oil the grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Don’t use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
