- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups mixed seasonal vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, corn)
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix garlic, parsley, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes; overnight is ideal.

- 3. Grill the chicken: Cook marinated chicken on the grill for 6-7 minutes per side until juices run clear and grill marks appear.
- 4. Sauté the vegetables: Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Sauté in olive oil over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
- 5. Make the garlic sauce: Mix minced garlic with mayonnaise and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
- 6. Assemble bowls: Slice grilled chicken over sautéed veggies in bowls. Drizzle with garlic sauce and extra chimichurri if desired.
