Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, white-wine vinegar, and olive oil until the dressing is well combined. Set it aside.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts and zucchini halves with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Ensure they are evenly coated.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Then place the zucchini on the preheated grill. Grill the zucchini for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until they have grill marks and are tender.

Remove the zucchini from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Once rested, slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips.

In a large bowl, combine the grilled zucchini, sliced grilled chicken, and shredded basil leaves.

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to ensure everything is coated with the dressing.
