Grilled Chicken with Vegetables

Ingredients:

• For the Chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Juice of 1 lemon
• For the Vegetables:
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice.
   • Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Preheat the Grill:
   • Heat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken:
   • Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
5. Grill the Vegetables:
   • Grill the vegetables in batches or using a grill basket. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred.
6. Serve:
   • Arrange the grilled chicken and vegetables on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil if desired.
