Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz each) boneless chicken breasts
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 medium, sliced 1/2-inch thick zucchini
• 2, sliced 1/2-inch thick red bell peppers
• 1 large, cut into 8 wedges red onion
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add chicken breasts, coating evenly, and marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Thread zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Grill vegetables for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
3. Step 3: Grill marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and edges are golden brown. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve chicken alongside grilled vegetables.
