Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 ½ pounds Thin-sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts I had 5 breasts
- 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon zest optional
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh basil or parsley optional for garnishing
- lemon slices optional for garnishing
Broccoli (Or Another Vegetable)
- 2 large heads broccoli trimmed into florets
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
Instructions
- Chicken – To a large ziptop plastic bag, add all ingredients except basil or parsley, seal, and smoosh around to evenly coat chicken. Place bag in fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight, to marinate.
- Lightly oil grill grates and preheat grill to high heat on one side, medium heat on another side.
- Broccoli – Place florets in a grill basket, evenly drizzle with olive oil (Tip – many times I use olive oil cooking spray because just a misting is all you need), and evenly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss with your hands to coat evenly.
- Place grill basket over the high/hotter side of the grill and place chicken on the medium heat side; discard bag with marinade.
- Close grill lid and cook for about 5 minutes. Flip chicken, stir broccoli, close grill lid, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is done and cooked through and the broccoli is as charred as desired.
- Optionally add lemon zest to broccoli, optional fresh basil or parsley for the chicken, optional lemon slices for garnishing, and serve immediately.
