30-minute easy grilled chicken and vegetables
Description
The recipe features skinless, deboned chicken breasts marinated briefly in a mixture of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, crushed garlic, smoked paprika, chili flakes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Half of this marinade is used to coat the chicken, and the other half to dress thick slices of bell pepper, broccolini, asparagus, and zucchini.
The chicken grills for several minutes per side until fully cooked and resting under foil keeps it juicy. Meanwhile, the vegetables are grilled until they show char marks and soften but retain some bite, highlighting their natural flavors enriched by the marinade’s citrus and spices.
Served with lemon wedges for additional brightness, this dish presents a convenient and flavorful grilled combination of protein and vegetables. The vegetable quantities are flexible and can be adjusted or swapped to preference.
