A simple and delicious summer dish featuring marinated grilled chicken breasts accompanied by perfectly roasted vegetables.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced
  • 1 large red onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off.
  4. Grill the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large baking sheet.
  6. Roast the vegetables in the oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized.
  7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  8. Serve the grilled chicken breasts with the roasted vegetables, garnished with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
