Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken with Vegetables

Lemon, garlic, and olive oil are all a chicken breast needs. The vegetables grill alongside in the same amount of time, so dinner lands all at once. Plenty of protein, plenty of fiber, nothing fussy.

4 servings or type

1 ½ pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

¼ cup Olive oil

3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice

3 Garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

½ teaspoon Ground black pepper

2 Zucchini, halved lengthwise

2 Bell peppers, quartered

Steps

Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pound the chicken to an even thickness and coat with half the mixture; marinate 15 minutes. Toss the vegetables with the rest.
Heat a grill for direct cooking over medium-high. Grill the chicken 6 to 7 minutes per side, until 165°F inside.
Grill the vegetables alongside, about 8 minutes total, until charred at the edges and tender.
Rest the chicken 5 minutes, slice, and serve over the vegetables with the pan juices spooned over.

Tip: Pound the thick end of each breast to an even thickness. Even chicken cooks even, and there is no dry thin end.
