Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is grilling, prepare your vegetables. You can toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper for flavor.

  2. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    Once the chicken is removed from the grill, add the prepared vegetables to the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 7

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 8

    Cook the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Meal

    On each plate, serve a portion of grilled chicken alongside the grilled vegetables and a scoop of rice. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.

  2. 10

    Enjoy!

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious grilled chicken meal!
