Description

Imagine biting into succulent grilled chicken, infused with the fragrant essence of rosemary and thyme. This dish offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors, perfect for a satisfying and wholesome meal. The chicken breasts, butterflied to ensure even and quick cooking, are marinated in a simple yet aromatic blend of olive oil and fresh herbs.

This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, resulting in a tender and juicy piece of chicken with every bite. The herbaceous marinade complements the natural flavor of the chicken, creating a savory and fragrant experience. The grilling process adds a subtle smoky char, enhancing the overall taste profile and creating a visually appealing dish.

Alongside the chicken, a medley of colorful vegetables, cut into thick, fry-like sticks, are tossed in olive oil and seasoned simply with salt. These vegetable sticks are then grilled to perfection, achieving a slightly charred exterior that gives way to a tender and flavorful interior. The natural sweetness of the vegetables is intensified by the grilling process, creating a delightful contrast to the savory chicken.

The char adds a pleasant textural element, providing a slight crispness that complements the tenderness of the chicken. This grilled chicken and vegetable dish is incredibly versatile and can be easily adapted to suit your preferences. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and vegetables to create your own unique flavor combinations.

Preparing the chicken and vegetables ahead of time makes this dish an excellent choice for busy weeknights or relaxed weekend gatherings. Simply marinate the chicken and prepare the vegetables in advance, and then grill them when you're ready to eat. This allows you to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal with minimal effort.

It’s a symphony of simple flavors elevated by the magic of the grill.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create two thinner pieces. Place them in a zip-top bag with 2.5 ounces of olive oil, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Seal the bag and massage the chicken, pressing lightly with your fists to help the marinade penetrate the meat.
    2.
    Slice zucchini into thick batons and bell peppers into large, flat pieces. Place the vegetables in a medium mixing bowl and toss with olive oil and salt to coat evenly.
    3.
    Preheat a grill to 500°F (260°C). Place the marinated chicken on the grill, shiny side down. Grill for several minutes until the chicken releases easily from the grill grates.
    4.
    Flip the chicken and cook for a few more minutes, then flip again. Repeat this process until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
    5.
    Add the vegetables to the grill once the chicken is about halfway cooked. Flip the vegetables occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred.
    6.
    Remove the chicken and vegetables from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice the bell peppers into strips. Serve the sliced chicken with the grilled zucchini and bell peppers.
