Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
This recipe is a testament to the Ninja Foodi Grill's versatility. It combines juicy, flavorful chicken with tender, perfectly roasted vegetables – all cooked simultaneously for a complete and healthy meal. This is a fantastic option for homemade cooking at its finest.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried Italian herbs (or a mix of oregano, basil, thyme)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 red onion, chopped
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure each breast is evenly coated.
- Assemble the Grill: Place the chopped vegetables in one side of the Ninja Foodi Grill basket. Arrange the chicken breasts on the other side, layering lemon slices on top of the chicken.
- Grill: Select the "grill" setting on your Ninja Foodi Grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken and your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Remove the chicken and vegetables from the grill and serve immediately. This dish pairs perfectly with rice, quinoa, or a simple salad.
Cooking Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Don't overcrowd the grill basket. Ensure proper air circulation for even cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with different vegetables. Broccoli, asparagus, and mushrooms all work well.
Variations:
- Spicy Chicken: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade for a spicy kick.
- BBQ Chicken: Replace the Italian herbs with your favorite BBQ sauce.
- Sheet Pan Dinner: This recipe can also be adapted for sheet pan cooking in a conventional oven.
