Method

Marinated Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Rice

  1. 4

    Cook Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and salt, stir briefly, and reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Vegetables

  1. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and zucchini. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
