Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 2 medium red bell peppers, cut into strips
• 1 large red onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon extra olive oil for vegetables

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade. Turn the chicken to coat it well, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini into rounds, cut the red bell peppers into strips, and slice the red onion.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Toss the sliced vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar in a large bowl.

Step 6

Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

While the chicken is resting, grill the vegetables. Place them on the grill or in a grilling basket and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and lightly charred.

Step 9

Serve the grilled chicken with the vegetables on the side. Enjoy your delicious, low sodium meal!
