Ingredients

  • Boneless chicken (breast or thighs)
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Fresh thyme
  • Smoked paprika
  • Lemons or limes
  • Garlic or shallots
  • Colorful bell peppers
  • Zucchini
  • Spinach
  • Olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Begin by marinating your chicken. Combine olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic, and citrus juice in a bowl.
  2. Let your chicken soak in these vibrant flavors for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess liquid drain off.
  5. Place it onto the hot grill or skillet, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side.
  6. Chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces and toss them in olive oil with salt and pepper.
  7. Roast the veggies alongside the chicken for about 20-25 minutes.
  8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing for optimal juiciness.
  9. Serve over the roasted veggies, garnished with fresh lemon juice and herbs.
