Ingredients

Lemon2 large
Garlic4 cloves
Olive oil1/4 cup
Salt1 tsp
Red onion1 medium
Honey1 tbsp

Method

1

Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to even 3/4-inch thickness. Transfer to a shallow dish or zip-top bag.

2

Combine lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Pour over the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

3

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Pat vegetables dry and toss with a pinch of salt and pepper.

4

Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place on hot grill and cook for 6–8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and grill marks are visible. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.

5

Place zucchini and red onion directly on grill grates. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until tender with light char. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6

Arrange grilled chicken and vegetables on serving plates. Drizzle with honey if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm.
