Ingredients
  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Zucchini
  • 1 Bell pepper (any color)
  • 1/2 Red onion
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Preparation

Preheat grill to medium heat. If using wooden skewers for the vegetables, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Prepare the Chicken

In a small bowl, combine the dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.

Marinate the Chicken and Vegetables

Brush the chicken breasts and sliced vegetables with olive oil. Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Lightly season the vegetables with black pepper.

Grilling

Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Grill the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

Serving

Remove the chicken and vegetables from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken with the grilled vegetables. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables adds extra flavor.
