Ingredients

4 servings

4 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar ((Note 1))
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Black pepper
1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 tsp mixed Italian dried herbs ((either a packet mix or mix herbs like basil, parsley, oregano, rosemary and thyme))
1 tsp dried red chili flakes ((optional))
750 g / 1.5lb chicken thighs, boneless skinless, or breast ((cut in half horizontally))
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 zucchinis (, finely sliced into rounds using a mandolin)
2 tbsp baby mint leaves (, or 1 tbsp sliced larger mint leaves)

Steps

Place the Dressing Marinade ingredients in a small jar and shake well to combine.
Put the Marinated Chicken ingredients in a bowl or ziplock bag and add 5 tablespoons of the Dressing Marinade. 
Massage / mix to coat the chicken. Set aside for marinade for at least 20 minutes, ideally 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
Grill/BBQ: You shouldn't need any oil, but if you are concerned, brush your grill with oil. Heat the grill on medium high and cook the chicken for around 3 to 4 minutes on each side. (Cook breast for less)
Stove: Preheat 1/2 tbsp oil in a large non stick fry pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook each side for around 4 to 5 minutes, or until dark golden brown and cooked through. 
When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill/fry pan onto a plate, loosely cover with foil and set aside for 10 minutes.
Serve the chicken with the zucchini salad and toasted bread.
Add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil (from the Zucchini Side ingredients) into the jar with the remaining Dressing Marinade and shake well. Set aside.
Toss the zucchinis and mint with the Dressing Marinade.
