Preparation
Grill the chicken
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Pat the chicken* dry and drizzle with oil; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Add to the BBQ and grill, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Grill the zucchini
Meanwhile, cut the zucchini lengthwise into ½ inch pieces. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Add to the BBQ and grill, 2 to 4 min. per side, until tender. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice crosswise
Mise en place
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, make the vinaigrette by combining the vinegar, garlic, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P. Drain the artichokes and pat dry; halve lengthwise.
Make the salad & serve
To the bowl of vinaigrette, add the zucchini, artichokes and baby greens. Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the chicken. Bon appétit!
