Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 whole bell peppers
- 2 whole zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 8 ounces mushrooms
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into chunks suitable for grilling. For the mushrooms, ensure they are clean and remove the stems if desired.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and extra black pepper if desired.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 6
As the chicken is grilling, arrange the vegetables on the grill in a single layer, using a grill basket if needed to avoid losing small pieces. Grill the vegetables for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks, turning occasionally.
Step 7
Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, remove them from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken with the medley of vegetables on the side. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful meal!
