Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Add chicken breasts to the bowl, turning to coat well. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Toss bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Grill vegetables alongside, turning occasionally until they are tender and have nice grill marks (about 8-10 minutes).
Let chicken rest for 3 minutes, then slice and serve over the grilled vegetables.
