"This is a light lunch/dinner option that won't heat up the house (if you're using an outdoor grill). Omit the bread, if you want to get rid of the carbs."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts and zucchini slices with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat them evenly.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 4
Grill the zucchini slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they have grill marks and are tender.
Step 5
Toast the slices of bread on the grill for a few minutes until they are lightly golden and crisp.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together until well combined.
Step 7
Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on the toasted bread slices.
Step 8
Arrange the grilled chicken slices and grilled zucchini slices on top of the bread.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
