Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F or 190°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Pour over chicken breasts in a resealable bag or bowl and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the chicken marinates, slice zucchini into thin rounds.
  4. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and charred; add zucchini slices during the last few minutes of cooking.
  5. In a saucepan, simmer leftover marinade for about five minutes to create a thickened sauce.
  6. Serve chicken and zucchini on plates, drizzling with the sauce.
