A tangy twist on the chicken. Makes great leftovers for a chicken salad lunch the next day.

Ingredients

    1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

    black pepper to taste

    2 tsp. dijon mustard

    2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

    6 chicken breast

    2 lbs. asparagus

    6 sml. zucchini

    1 tsp. sea salt

    3 med. orange

    1 lime

Directions

Cut 1 orange into wedges (keep peel intact); set aside. Of the remaining 2 oranges, remove zest of 1 and juice of both; place the zest and juice in a glass bowl. Add lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, ground pepper, and Dijon mustard; whisk together to blend. Slowly whisk in about 1 tablespoon olive oil; and set aside.

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thick. Place chicken in a glass bowl; pour half of the reserved vinaigrette over the chicken. Coat thoroughly, cover and chill 1 to 2 hours to marinate.

Heat a grill until very hot -- I BBQ this recipe on a nice day. Coat asparagus (washed and trimmed) and zucchini (cut on the diagonal in 1/4-inch slices) with olive oil; sprinkle with sea salt. Grill vegetables and reserved orange wedges until tender. Remove chicken from marinade; season with sea salt. Discard marinade. Grill until browned on both sides and cooked. Arrange chicken and vegetables on a platter. Serve with remaining reserved vinaigrette drizzled on top.

Enjoy!!
