Marinade

Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

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

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a mixing bowl, combine sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Chicken

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

  3. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    While the chicken is grilling, place the prepared vegetables on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, remove them from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken alongside the grilled vegetables.
