Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

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

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 the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

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

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and trimmed asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.

  2. 7

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill using a grill basket or skewers. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve it alongside the grilled seasonal vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
