Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken:

  3. Preheat the Grill:
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).
    • Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Chicken:
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
    • Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Grill the Veggies:

    • Grill for 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until tender and lightly charred.
  6. Serve:
    • Arrange the grilled chicken and veggies on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • No Grill? Cook the chicken and veggies on a stovetop grill pan or bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
  • Add More Veggies: Try mushrooms, asparagus, or eggplant for variety.
  • Meal Prep: This dish reheats well and is perfect for meal prep. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
