Instructions
Creating Mediterranean Chicken is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion.
4. Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
5. Grill the Vegetables: Meanwhile, toss the sliced vegetables with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add them to the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender.
6. Check for Doneness: Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Plate the Dish: Serve the grilled chicken alongside the vibrant vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch.
