Grilled Chicken and Zuchini

Hmm, the yellow plate was a bad idea...beyond that the chicken and zuchini were great!  We love to grill and to eat chicken and find that we are always looking for new ways to fix the chicken on the grill.
I am finding that marinating the chicken is a great place to infuse different flavors into the chicken.

Since we had some Salsa Verde leftover from another meal, we marinated the chicken in the salsa verde all afternoon, and then grilled it. We served some of the salsa verde on the side for a dipping sauce too.

You can find the Salsa Verde recipe on the blog from an erlier recipe!

This is what we did for the zuchini:

3 medium zuchini
olive oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder
onion powder

Wash the zuchini and slice them lengthwise. spread them out on a baking pan so you can drizzle with a little oil and season liberally with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders.  Put these on the grill right before the chicken is done, or when the chicken is resting, as it doesn't take very long. Flip over when they start to brown on one side.  My daughters like to add butter and parmesian cheese to the zuchini when done which tastes great!

We also had some leftover Mango Salsa, and I thought it was fabulous with that too!  It added more of a sweetness that went really well with the spicy from the salsa verde.

Do you have a favorite marinade or salsa?
