How to Make Bbq Chicken Breast With Zucchini Sauce

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Sauté for 2 minutes, until garlic softens.
3. Add 2 medium zucchini, diced (about 2 cups), and another 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sauté, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
4. Pour in 300ml (1 1/4 cups) chicken stock (or water) and optionally 50ml (1/4 cup) dry white wine or champagne. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until zucchini is tender.
5. Remove half of the cooked zucchini and blend it smoothly with 1 tablespoon of butter using an immersion blender or in a regular blender.
6. Return the blended zucchini to the pan. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and a dash of extra virgin olive oil to taste.
7. Meanwhile, season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6oz each) generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.
8. Char-grill the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred, adding a pinch of salt when you flip them.
9. Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
10. Spoon the zucchini sauce onto two plates. Top with the sliced chicken breasts. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper.
