Zucchini — 1 medium — sliced into rounds
Baby corn — 2 — halves lengthwise
Cherry tomatoes — 1 cup
Olive oil — 2 tablespoons
Garlic — 2 cloves — minced

Preparation

Step 1 — 🔥☀️🌡️

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2 — 🧂🐓🔥

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, brush with olive oil, then grill until cooked through. This takes about 6-7 minutes on each side. Set aside once done.
Step 3 — 🧄🍄🥘

In a pan, sauté the minced garlic in butter until it becomes aromatic. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they become golden brown.
Step 4 — 🍷🍶🍴

Deglaze the pan with dry white wine, let it reduce, then add the heavy cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5 — 🌽🥒🍅

Blanch the baby corn, zucchini slices, and cherry tomatoes for 2-3 minutes in boiling water, then refresh them in ice-cold water. After that, drain and set aside.
Step 6 — 🍽️🍗🥗

Pool some mushroom sauce on the plate, place the grilled chicken on top of it, arrange the blanched veggies around, and garnish with microgreens.

A final fox tip

For a vegetarian twist, replace the chicken with grilled tofu. Children can help wash and prepare the veggies. Fun fact: Did you know that Shiitake mushrooms are great sources of iron and antioxidants?
