Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts into a large 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, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, wash the bell peppers and cut them into thick strips. Set aside.
Step 5
Prepare a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 7
Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
While the chicken is grilling, add the bell pepper strips to the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are slightly charred and tender.
Step 9
Remove the chicken and bell peppers from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 10
Serve the grilled chicken with the bell pepper strips on the side. Enjoy your meal!
