Preparation

Step 1 - 🔥☀️🌡️

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

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.

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.

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.
