Ingredients
  

For the Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)

1 tablespoon lemon zest

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Veggie Medley:

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

    Prepare the Veggie Medley: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.

      Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Once done, remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

        Grill the Veggies: In the last few minutes of grilling chicken, place the vegetable medley on a grill basket or skewers. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the veggies are tender and slightly charred.

          Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them on a platter alongside the grilled veggie medley. Drizzle with any remaining olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra flavor.
