Instructions

To make the sauce, place all the sauce ingredients into a food processor. Process until smooth and then set aside.

Preheat grill to medium high and lightly oil the grate. In a bowl toss the zucchini with ½ teaspoon oil and ½ teaspoon salt and the cumin. Brush the corn with ½ teaspoon oil and sprinkle with salt. Cook the corn and the zucchini on the grill for around 10 minutes or until tender with grill marks. Remove and keep warm. Cut corn kernels from the cob.
In a bowl toss the tomatoes and green onions wth one teaspoon oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Place in a grill basket and grill until tomatoes are just starting to split, about 2 minutes. Remove and keep warm. Chop the green onions, or leave whole.
Remove chicken from marinade. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Place on the grill and grill for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and keep warm.
In a bowl toss together the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of sauce and divide between plates. Slice chicken and divide between plates. Drizzle with remaining sauce.
