Get flavorful, perfectly grilled chicken breasts by first seasoning them with salt, pepper and oregano. Serve the chicken over spinach topped with persimmon slices and pomegranate seeds. Persimmon are available from October through February. For best flavor, choose the small, tomato-shaped Fuyu persimmon. If you can only find the larger Hachiya persimmon, you’ll need to let it get fully ripe and soft before eating, otherwise it is too astringent.
