By marinading and then grilling the chicken and the veggies, this dish has a wonderful grilled flavor served over pasta, its a filling meal. It is also great served cold. Make sure to not cut the veggies too thin so they dont slip thru the grill grates. I have also done this inside on the foreman type grill.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the chicken and prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the grill.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some popular options include grilled vegetables, pasta salad, or roasted potatoes.

Conclusion:

Grilled Italian chicken and vegetables is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil, then grilled to perfection. The vegetables are also grilled, until they are tender and slightly charred. This dish is served with a simple lemon-herb sauce, which adds a bright and refreshing flavor. Grilled Italian chicken and vegetables is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.
