Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion), chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- 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 on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
- While the chicken is grilling, preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through.
- Serve the grilled chicken with the roasted vegetables on the side. Enjoy!
The history of Lemon and Herb Grilled Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables dates back to the Mediterranean region, where the combination of fresh herbs, zesty lemon, and succulent grilled chicken has been a culinary tradition for centuries. Renowned chefs in the coastal towns of Greece and Italy have perfected this dish, infusing it with the flavors of the sun-drenched Mediterranean. The key to this dish lies in the perfect balance of citrusy tang from the lemon and the aromatic blend of herbs. The best version of this dish can be found in family-owned restaurants along the Mediterranean coast, where the chicken is marinated in a mixture of lemon juice, garlic, and a medley of fresh herbs before being grilled to perfection. The roasted vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes, are seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper, adding a delightful complement to the flavorful chicken. This dish is a celebration of the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean, and it's a must-try for anyone seeking a taste of the sun-soaked coastal cuisine.
