Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, then set aside to rest.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the thinly sliced red onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and corn kernels. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften yet retain their vibrant crunch.
Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes along with the chicken broth, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Let the mixture simmer for 3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Fold in the chopped basil and parsley, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the grilled chicken breasts over a bed of the summer vegetable medley. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
