Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut 1 orange into wedges, leaving the peel on. Peel 1 orange. Squeeze the juice from 2 oranges. Transfer the zest and juice to a bowl. Add lemon juice, vinegar, pepper, and mustard, and mix. Slowly whisk in the sesame oil.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to a thickness of 1 cm. Transfer to a bowl and pour half of the marinade over them. Mix, cover, and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat the grill or barbecue.

Step 4

Drizzle the asparagus and chopped zucchini with olive oil and season with salt. Place on the grill along with the orange wedges and grill until tender.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt. Place on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until done and golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, arrange the vegetables and oranges alongside. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with the remaining vinaigrette.
