Chicken

Method

Prepare the Chicken

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and coat well with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

3

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Prepare the Vegetables

4

Prepare the Vegetables

While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop the zucchini, bell peppers, and asparagus into bite-sized pieces.

5

Season the Vegetables

In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

6

Grill the Vegetables

Once the chicken is done, place the seasoned vegetables on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serve

7

Plating

Arrange the grilled chicken on a serving platter and surround it with the grilled seasonal vegetables. Serve immediately.
