Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Look for medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Marinate the zucchini: Marinating the zucchini in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper will help them to brown and caramelize on the grill.
- Grill the zucchini over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning. Cook the zucchini for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Make the peanut chicken: While the zucchini is grilling, cook the chicken in a mixture of peanut butter, soy sauce, and ginger. Serve the chicken over the grilled zucchini.
- Garnish with cilantro and peanuts: This will add a fresh, nutty flavor to the dish.
