Grilled Garlic Chicken + Veggies
This Grilled Garlic Chicken and Vegetables recipe is both fast (done in under 30 minutes!) and easy, making it the perfect healthy meal for a weeknight. Grill indoors or out, either way the chicken and vegetables turn out perfectly every time.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 tsp each sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
- 4 Tbsps avocado oil, or olive oil
- 2 Tbsps apple cider vinegar
- 6 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 large zucchini, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 4 bell peppers, different colors, sliced into thick strips
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
- a small handful of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk your oil, vinegar, together with sea salt, pepper, minced garlic, chili flakes and oregano.
- Place the chicken breast in a Ziploc bag, or glass bowl and pour in HALF of your olive-garlic mixture. Shake or toss to combine, then allow chicken to marinade for at least 30 minutes, covered in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile prepare your veggies, and place them in a large bowl. Add the remaining garlic oil mixture and toss well to coat.
- Heat an outdoor or an stovetop grill to medium-high heat.
- Discard all marinade.
- Place the veggies on the grill and cook in batches, flipping them constantly until the edges are nicely charred, about 5-6 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
- Set on a platter as they are ready.
- Grill your chicken about 5 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Place chicken on your platter next to the veggies, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
- Enjoy!
