Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
– 1 onion, sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tomatoes, diced
– 1 zucchini, sliced
– 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.

2. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

3. Coat the vegetables in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

4. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until meat has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

5. At the same time, place a large, cast-iron skillet on the grill. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the chopped vegetables. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

6. Sprinkle the vegetables with the basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

7. Once the chicken is done, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it.

8. Serve the grilled chicken with the sautéed vegetables on the side. You can also mix the chicken into the vegetables for a more combined dish.
