- In small bowl combine all gremolata mayonnaise ingredients; blend well. Set aside.
- Heat grill. Place 1 chicken breast half, boned side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Working from center, gently pound chicken with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about ¼" thick; remove wrap. Repeat with remaining chicken breast halves. Brush chicken breasts with 1 tbsp. oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- When ready to grill, place chicken over medium heat. Cook 10 to 16 minutes or until chicken is fork tender and juices run clear.
- Meanwhile, brush zucchini with remaining oil; place on grill. Cook about 10 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally. To toast buns, place cut sides down on grill last 2 to 4 minutes of cooking time.
- Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce. Place grilled vegetables evenly onto lettuce. Top each sandwich with chicken breast half, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and top half of bun.
- Note: To broil chicken and vegetables, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6" from heat using times above as a guide, turning chicken once and vegetables occasionally.
