Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Grilled Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for tossing veggies)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is well coated, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  3. Preheat the grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat to get it ready for cooking the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, discarding the leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and it’s cooked through.
  5. Prepare the veggies: While the chicken is cooking, toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion in olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring even coating.
  6. Grill the vegetables: Add the veggies to the grill alongside the chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
  7. Serve: Plate the grilled chicken breasts with the flavorful grilled vegetables on the side and enjoy this fresh, wholesome meal.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken longer, up to 2 hours, will enhance the flavor even more.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is safely cooked.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs if preferred, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • For extra zest, add chopped fresh cilantro or a sprinkle of chili flakes when serving.
  • If you don’t have a grill, this recipe can be adapted for grilling on a grill pan or broiling in the oven.
