Grilled Lemon Dill Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion), chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons dill, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is grilling, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 cups of mixed vegetables with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through cooking.
- Serve the grilled lemon dill chicken alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
Grilled Lemon Dill Chicken has a rich history dating back to ancient Mediterranean cuisine. The dish is a delightful combination of succulent chicken marinated in zesty lemon and aromatic dill, then grilled to perfection. The addition of roasted vegetables adds a delightful earthy flavor and a colorful, nutritious touch to the meal. Renowned chefs in the Mediterranean region, such as those in Greece and Italy, have perfected this dish over generations, infusing it with their unique culinary expertise. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Mediterranean restaurants, where the key lies in using fresh, high-quality ingredients and mastering the art of grilling. The key to achieving the perfect flavor is in the marination process, where the chicken absorbs the tangy lemon and herbaceous dill, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. For a twist, some chefs also incorporate alternative methods such as using a wood-fired grill to infuse a smoky essence into the dish. Whether enjoyed in a quaint Mediterranean eatery or prepared at home, Grilled Lemon Dill Chicken with roasted vegetables is a timeless, delectable dish that continues to captivate food enthusiasts worldwide.
