Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 6

    Season the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill alongside the chicken. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and have grill marks.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve it alongside the grilled seasonal vegetables. Drizzle with additional olive oil or lemon juice if desired.
