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

Instructions for Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Vegetables:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the grilled lemon herb chicken with the roasted vegetables on the side.
