Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Preparing the Vegetable Medley

  1. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 6

    Add Corn and Cilantro

    Stir in corn kernels and chopped cilantro. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving
