- 3medium zucchinis split in half lengthwise
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12basil leaves, shredded

Preparation
- Step 1
Combine the mustard and vinegar, beating them together until blended. Beat in the olive oil.

Brush the chicken and zucchini with half this mixture. Preheat grill or broiler.

Grill or broil the chicken and zucchini until the zucchini are lightly seared but still crisp and the chicken is cooked through. (The zucchini will take less time than the chicken.)
- Step 4
Slice the zucchini thin and place in a bowl. Toss with the rest of the mustard, oil and vinegar mixture.

When the chicken is done, allow it to cool briefly, then remove the bones and, if desired, the skin. Cut the chicken into slivers. Toss with zucchini and dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper, add basil, toss again, serve on bed of lettuce.

I added a clove of garlic and some sumac to the dressing, and t was absolutely delicious. Endlessly riffable with possible addition of veggies (I added baby plum tomatoes), and could happily take a cheese like mozzarella, burrata or shaved parmesan or a crunchy element like a crouton, pine nuts or crispy pancetta. I see myself making this a lot
Great recipe, Florence. Needed some extra salt and maybe some garlic, but delicious.
