Preparation
Marinate the chicken
Heat the BBQ on medium-high, making sure to oil the grill first. Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, combine the labneh, ½ the garlic, ⅓ of the spices, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the remaining spices. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and ⅔ of the spiced labneh.
Mise en place
Quarter the zucchini lengthwise. In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Pick the mint leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
Grill the chicken
Remove the chicken* from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Add to the BBQ and grill, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Grill the zucchini
Add the zucchini to the BBQ and grill, turning occasionally, 3 min., until tender. Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool enough, medium-dice. Reserve the bowl.
Make the salad
In the same bowl, combine the zucchini, cheese, vinegar, ½ the mint and the remaining garlic.
Plate your dish
Divide the remaining spiced labneh between your plates and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the chicken and salad. Garnish with the remaining mint. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
