Grilled Chicken Thighs with Charred Corn and Summer Squash image

After a quick turn on the grill, these flame-kissed boneless thighs get tossed with a minty lemon dressing. Corn and zucchini are next up on the grates-and when you platter everything up with the meat on top, the sauce dresses everything.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 1/4 cup fresh juice
3/4 teaspoon grated garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallot
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup fresh herbs, such as mint and dill, chopped, plus 1/2 cup whole leaves and sprigs for serving
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 to 6)
Vegetable oil, for grill
3 ears corn, husks and silks removed
3 large zucchini or summer squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 3/4-inch-thick rounds
1 ounce Pecorino Romano, shaved (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together lemon zest and juice, garlic, shallot, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped herbs.
  • Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper; drizzle lightly with olive oil. Brush grates with vegetable oil. Grill chicken, turning once, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts registers 160°F, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to dish and turn to coat with lemon mixture; tent with foil. Cover grill; return to medium-high heat.
  • Drizzle vegetables lightly with olive oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred in places and squash is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Let corn cool slightly, then strip kernels from cobs and transfer to a serving platter with squash, cheese, and herb leaves. Top with chicken; spoon more lemon mixture over top, if desired.

This dish is a great way to use up summer produce. The charred corn and summer squash are both at their best right now.
