Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion), chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. 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 the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is grilling, preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve the grilled chicken alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
