Chicken Marinade

Seasonal Vegetables

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the 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 best flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, sliced red bell pepper, and trimmed asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.

  2. 7

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the vegetables on the grill in a grill basket or directly on the grates. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve alongside the grilled seasonal vegetables. Enjoy your juicy grilled chicken!
