Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, 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 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for 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 Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a 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 prepared 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 on a plate alongside the grilled seasonal vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
