Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic (2 cloves), balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers and zucchini into strips. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the prepared bell peppers and zucchini on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

  5. 5

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic (2 cloves) and sauté for 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a bed of sautéed spinach, top it with the grilled chicken, and arrange the grilled vegetables on the side. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
