Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the honey mixture over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss 2 cups of mixed vegetables with 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Baste the chicken with the remaining honey mixture while grilling.
- While the chicken is grilling, roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the honey glazed lemon pepper grilled chicken with the roasted vegetables, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese.
