Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 lemons
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your choice of vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onions)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lemon, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare your vegetables. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have grill marks. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
- While the chicken is grilling, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the prepared vegetables out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the grilled lemon herb chicken with the roasted vegetables and garnish with slices of fresh lemon. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious weekend meal!
