Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 30 ml lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary (crumbled), 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Place 400 g chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for 20 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and the oven to 200°C (180°C fan), and lightly grease the grill grates with a little olive oil.
4. While the chicken marinates, wash and chop 200 g carrots, 200 g courgette, and 150 g red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
5. Toss the chopped vegetables with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly coated.
6. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
7. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side (a little longer for thick breasts), until golden brown and cooked through (75°C in the thickest part).
8. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
9. Serve the grilled chicken alongside the roasted vegetables on a plate.

How to make Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken With Roasted Vegetables

Marinate the chicken. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt and black pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts in a shallow dish so they are fully coated and marinate for 20 minutes.
Heat the grill. While the chicken marinates, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with olive oil so the chicken does not stick.
Roast the vegetables. Chop the carrots, courgette and red pepper into bite-sized pieces and toss with olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper. Roast on a tray at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Grill and rest. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown, then remove it from the grill and rest it for 5 minutes.
Serve with the vegetables. Serve the rested grilled chicken alongside the roasted vegetables on each plate, finished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you like.
