Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken and zucchini
Report
Tender and juicy chicken breasts marinated in lemon, garlic, and grilled to perfection
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 6 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 large zucchini sliced into 1/2 inch pieces on the diagonal
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Add chicken breast to a Ziploc bag and pour over the lemony marinade; seal the bag and gently press the marinade around the chicken to evenly coat. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile thoroughly wash the zucchini and pat the excess moisture with a paper towel.
- Using a sharp knife cut off the ends. Now simply, make diagonal cuts across the zucchini to get 1/2 inch-thick pieces.
- Spray the grill with some cooking spray and preheat to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it onto the preheated grill along with zucchini slices.
- Grill the chicken breast for 6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted reads 165F. Zucchini will cook pretty fast, it should take no longer than 5 minutes to get nicely charred and tender.
- Once done, remove from the grill and serve hot.
