Instructions
-
Preheat a clean grill to medium-high, about 425°F, for 10 minutes. If the chicken fillets vary greatly in thickness, pound the thicker sections to an even 1/2 inch.
-
Pat 12 oz chicken breast fillets dry. Season the chicken evenly with:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Set aside while preparing the vegetables.
-
Shuck 2 ears corn and brush them with 2 tsp olive oil. Cut 8 oz zucchini lengthwise into 1/2-inch planks; brush with 2 tsp olive oil and season with 1/4 tsp kosher salt.
-
Grill the prepared chicken with the lid closed for 5–7 minutes per side, until browned and the thickest part reaches 165°F. Grill the prepared corn for 8–10 minutes, turning every few minutes, and the prepared zucchini for 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer everything to a clean platter as it finishes.
-
Rest the grilled chicken for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the grilled zucchini and combine it with:
- 8 oz Roma tomato, diced
- 2 oz red onion, finely diced
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Toss to make the grilled-zucchini salsa.
-
Stir together the street-corn sauce using:
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Spoon it over the grilled corn.
-
Slice the rested chicken across the grain. Plate it with the street corn and grilled-zucchini salsa, spooning any accumulated chicken juices over the sliced meat.
