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.

GRILLED-CHICKEN-AND-ZUCCHINI SALAD

A quick marinade in garlicky, dill-flecked yogurt before grilling turns chicken cutlets super flavorful in this chicken and zucchini salad. They're served at dinner alongside an even faster-to-make romaine-and-radish salad, plus flame-kissed planks of zucchini brightened with lemon zest.
