Grilled Garlic and Herb Chicken and Veggies

Grilled Garlic and Herb Chicken & Veggies (Trust Me, You NEED This in Your Life)

Ever had one of those days where you just want to throw something on the grill and call it a night? Same. Like, we’re all busy, right? But I found this grilled garlic and herb chicken and veggie combo that’s not only super easy but also kinda fancy. It’s like, “Wow, you made this?” when really, it took you no time at all.

Okay, so…for my fellow nerds, here’s the image prompt for all you foodies out there: A hyper-realistic shot of the finished grilled garlic and herb chicken with those gorgeous, colorful veggies. Think clear subject, a little imperfection (maybe a bite taken out of the chicken), natural light streaming in, and a slightly messy kitchen vibe in the background. Oh, and use a 50mm f/1.8 lens for that dreamy, shallow depth of field. You know what I’m sayin’?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

You’re gonna need a few things, and luckily, I found them all at my local grocery store. No weird ingredients here! Just straight-up goodness.

– 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (seriously, thin sliced makes life easier)
– 3 ounces of Delallo garlic and herb veggie marinade (this stuff is a game-changer, trust me)
– Kosher salt (just a sprinkle, you know?)
– 1 lb asparagus (just grab a bunch, chop off those tough ends)
– 1 medium zucchini (slice it up about 1/4-inch thick, pretty please)
– 1 medium yellow squash (same slicing game here)
– 1 red bell pepper (slice into strips, like you’re trying to impress someone)
– Olive oil cooking spray (the magic helper)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

There’s a story here, and it’s a good one! So, picture this: I had friends over for a BBQ, and I was like, “What am I gonna make?!” Panic mode kicked in. I remembered this garlic and herb marinade I had stashed in the back of my fridge (you know, the forgotten ones).

I tossed the chicken in it, threw in some colorful veggies, and boom! The grill was fired up, and let me tell you, the smell was incredible. Friends were raving, asking me for the recipe, and I was like, “Oh, this old thing?!” 😂 It’s now a staple at every gathering, and I can whip it up in no time!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, THE trick? Marinating *everything*—the chicken AND the veggies. Seriously, don’t skip this step! It’s not just about flavor; it’s about making everything juicy and delish. Give the chicken at least an hour (or overnight if you can wait). And the veggies? Just let them soak up all that garlic and herb goodness.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Check your grill — like, really check it! Make sure those grates are clean and oiled, or you’re gonna have a sticky situation.
– Don’t overcrowd the grill! Seriously, give them space. Veggies need room to breathe and get that nice char.
– Timing is EVERYTHING. Chicken needs about 4-5 minutes per side. But, keep an eye on it! No one likes dry chicken!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow have leftovers (doubtful), just pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last a couple of days. Reheat in the oven or a quick zap in the microwave, but I promise, they won’t last long before someone devours them.
