Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
For the Vegetables:
- 1 small head broccoli (cut into florets)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 zucchini (sliced)
- 1 yellow squash (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried thyme/oregano mix)
Instructions
- Marinate and Grill the Chicken:
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for more flavor).
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Roast the Vegetables:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and squash in olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Assemble the Bowl:
- Slice the grilled chicken breasts and serve them over a bed of the roasted vegetables.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight.
- You can customize the vegetables based on seasonal availability.
