Honey Balsamic Grilled Chicken and Vegetables
Description
This recipe starts with marinating chicken cutlets in pesto, crushed garlic, red pepper flakes, lime juice, and salt to infuse bright and savory notes before grilling. Asparagus, zucchini slices, and red bell pepper strips are prepared separately, brushed with olive oil, and grilled until edges brown and vegetables are tender yet crisp. Chicken cutlets are cooked on a clean and well-oiled grill to develop grill marks and cook through in a few minutes per side. Once done, the grilled vegetables and chicken are assembled on a platter and drizzled with a dressing made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and salt, adding a sweet and tangy glaze. This dish offers a combination of smoky grilled flavors with herbal, sweet, and acidic accents, suitable for a quick summer dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless (skinless thin sliced chicken cutlets)
- 3 tbsp pesto or store bought, homemade
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes crushed
- lime juice from 1/2 lime
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey raw
- kosher salt
- 1 lb asparagus (1 bunch, tough ends removed)
- 2 zucchini sliced 1/4-inch thick, medium
- 1 red bell pepper (seeded and sliced into strips)
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Marinate chicken with pesto, garlic, red pepper flakes, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Mix oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl.
- Heat a grill over medium-high, be sure grates are clean and well oiled to prevent sticking.
- Put veggies on 1 large grill tray or 2 smaller trays (or cook in batches), spray with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning constantly until the edges are browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside on a dish.
- Cook the chicken about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the chicken is cooked though, transfer to a platter, too with the veggies and pour the balsamic dressing over everything.
