Why Grilled Chicken and Veggies?
Grilling brings out the natural flavors of the chicken and veggies, adding a smoky char and caramelized sweetness that’s hard to beat. It’s a one-stop meal that’s balanced, customizable, and perfect for any occasion. Plus, it’s easy to switch up the veggies or add your favorite marinades for endless variety.
Grilling chicken and veggies is so much easier with the right tools. A Braize Grill Basket is perfect for keeping small or sliced vegetables secure, while the Braize Large Grill Basket makes grilling multiple chicken breasts a breeze. These tools ensure even cooking, easy flipping, and no food falling through the grates—making your grilling experience stress-free and fun!
Grilled Chicken and Veggie Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Veggies:
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 yellow squash, sliced into rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 red onion, sliced into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them rest for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
2. Prep the Veggies
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, squash, bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the veggies in the Grill Basket for easy grilling.
3. Preheat the Grill
- Heat the grill to medium-high (about 375-400°F).
- Lightly oil the grates or place the Large Grill Basket for the chicken directly on the grill.
4. Grill the Chicken and Veggies
- Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill (or in the grill basket) and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Grill the Veggies: Simultaneously, place the grill basket with the veggies on the grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, shaking or flipping occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Slice the grilled chicken and serve alongside the charred veggies. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil if desired. This dish is perfect on its own, but you can also serve it with rice, quinoa, or a slice of crusty bread for a more filling meal.
