1/4 c. olive oil & vinegar dressing
4 chicken breast halves (about 1 1 ⁄2 lb)
1/3 c. halved
1/4 c. thinly sliced red onion
3 tbsp. sliced mint
4 small zucchini
Nonstick spray
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1 bag baby arugula

Instructions

Squeeze juice from 1 orange (you should have 1 ⁄2 cup). Pour 1 ⁄4 cup juice and 2 Tbsp dressing into a ziptop bag. Add chicken, seal bag and marinate at room temperature 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat outdoor grill. Remove peel and white pith from remaining 3 oranges. Cut in half and slice. Put into a medium bowl; add olives, onion, mint and remaining juice and dressing; toss to mix.

Grill chicken and zucchini 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until chicken is lightly charred and cooked through and zucchini is tender.
