Description
A delicious and healthy recipe for grilled chicken served with zucchini and a creamy herb sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the creamy herb sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts and zucchini slices.
- Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. At the same time, grill the zucchini for about 3-4 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred.
- While the chicken and zucchini are grilling, prepare the creamy herb sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the grilled chicken alongside the zucchini, drizzled with the creamy herb sauce on top.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.
- You can substitute the zucchini with other vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus for variety.
