Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1

  1. Marinate the chicken

    n a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.

  2. Preheat the grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).

Step 2

  1. Grill the chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. 

Step 3

  1. Sauté the vegetables

    While the chicken is grilling, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and sauté for 5 minutes, or until they start to soften. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the tomatoes are slightly blistered and the zucchini is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

  1. Serve

    Divide the sautéed zucchini and cherry tomatoes between two plates. Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
