Smoked Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (170-220 g each)
• 0.7 kg medium zucchini, squash or zucchini, cut into 2 cm pieces.
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley leaves
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• Half a shallot, chopped
• Grated zest and juice of half a lemon
• 4 thin slices Swiss cheese
• 4 thin slices of ham
• 2 cups mixed salad greens (about 60 g)

Preparation:

1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
2. Combine the parsley, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon water, garlic, shallot, lemon zest and juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse until pureed. Toss the zucchini with 2 tablespoons parsley sauce; arrange in a single layer in a large cast-iron skillet. Place the skillet on one side of the grill; cook until the zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, rub the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on the other side of the grill until cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side. Top each chicken breast with a slice of cheese, then a slice of ham. Cover and grill until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes more.
4. Serve the chicken and zucchini on lettuce leaves. Drizzle with the remaining parsley sauce.
