Ingredients:
For the Grilled Garlic and Herb Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Grilled Veggies:
- 2 zucchinis, sliced
- 2 bell peppers (mix of colors), sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Marinating the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the herbs and garlic to infuse the chicken with robust flavors.
Preparing the Veggies: 3. In a separate bowl, toss sliced zucchinis, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This medley of veggies promises a colorful and nutritious complement to the grilled chicken.
Grilling Perfection: 4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for approximately 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The garlic and herb-infused aroma will captivate your senses.
- While the chicken is grilling, place the seasoned veggies on a grill pan or skewers. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender with a slight char.
Plating Artistry: 6. Arrange the grilled garlic and herb chicken on a serving platter, each piece adorned with the vibrant grilled veggies. The combination of flavors and textures creates a visually stunning and appetizing dish.
