Ingredients

1/2 cup plain yogurt (not Greek)
1 clove garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus 1/4 cup packed dill sprigs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 medium zucchini (about 1 pound), cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons fresh juice
1 romaine-lettuce heart, thinly sliced crosswise (4 cups)
6 globe radishes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges (3/4 cup)

Steps:

Preheat grill to medium-high. Stir together yogurt, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, and chopped dill; season with salt and pepper. Add chicken; toss to combine. Let stand 15 minutes. Toss zucchini with 1 tablespoon oil and zest; season with salt and pepper.
Brush grill with oil. Grill chicken and zucchini until chicken is just cooked through and zucchini are charred in spots and tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side for chicken and 4 to 6 minutes per side for zucchini.
Toss lettuce, radishes, and dill sprigs with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken and zucchini with salad.

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 chicken breasts
3 medium zucchinis split in half lengthwise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 basil leaves, shredded
Lettuce leaves for garnish

Steps:

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.)
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.
