Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, and 3 minced garlic cloves with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss 2 large red bell peppers (cut into 1-inch strips), 3 cups cauliflower florets, and 1 lb halved blue potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until vegetables are tender and edges are caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the surface has grill marks.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from heat, drizzle with 2 tbsp lemon juice, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Serve grilled chicken alongside the roasted red, white, and blue vegetables, arranging them to showcase the colorful patriotic theme.
