A simple and delicious grilled chicken dish paired with fresh squash and tomato. Perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Vegetables:
- 2 medium yellow squash, sliced
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Marinade:
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced squash, zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the vegetables in a grill basket or directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve:
- Arrange the grilled chicken slices on a serving platter.
- Surround with the grilled squash, zucchini, and tomatoes.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added flavor and presentation.
