Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.

Prepare the Vegetables
Slice the zucchini into half-moons. Trim the green beans. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Sauté the zucchini in a little olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes.
