Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow squash, sliced
  • Cooking spray

Instructions for Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Vegetables:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Place the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, sliced zucchini, and yellow squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Toss the vegetables to coat evenly, then spread them out in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through cooking.
  6. Once the vegetables are in the oven, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve the grilled lemon herb chicken with the roasted vegetables on the side.

Enjoy your high-protein, low-carb dinner!
