Grilled Chicken with veggies گرلڈ چکن recipe by morEwish

 

After an indulgent holiday season, it's natural to feel a need to change our diet. In my experience, extreme overhauls in diet don't last that long, think of them as baby steps to take a few at a time in an effort to better your eating habits throughout this year. And this healthy grilled chicken with veggies will help you acheive that goal!

This healthy protein is versatile enough to be enjoyed throughout the year. From grilling outdoors to indoors or baked. You can have it with refreshing salad or veggies, this recipe is good for weeknights or for any summer cookouts. This marinade has pantry staples to make it easy and simple but there to elevate ultra-satisfying grilled chicken.

To make it little less complicated, I prefer to use ziplock bag,  place it on sheet pan in the refrigerator for at least an hour, but hopefully overnight so the chicken has plenty of time to soak up all that goodness. Every few hours, turn the bag from one side over to the other to keep the chicken coated with the marinade.

You can make ahead and freeze this chicken as well just place chicken into a freezer-safe container or bag and pour over the marinade. Make sure that all of the chicken is well coated. Remove as much air as possible as you seal the bag. Label the bag, arrange in the freezer so that the bag is as flat as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months.
