Ingredients

  • Baste:(choose one)
  • Greek: 4 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. dried oregano
  • Indian: 4 Tbsp. canola oil, 1 Tbsp. curry powder
  • Mexican: 4 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • Veggies;(choose 2 or 3)
  • 3 medium zucchini or yellow summer squash, sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz. sugar snap peas
  • 12 oz. small redskin potatoes, sliced 1/4- inch thick
  • 8 oz. baby carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, halved
  • Plus:
  • 6 ( 6 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 tsp. salt, divided
  • 2 large lemons, cut into 4 wedges each, seeds removed

Directions

  1. Heat grill to medium high.
  2. Place chicken and veggies in separate bowls. Toss each with 1 Tbsp. baste and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt.
  3. Grill chicken, brushing with remaining 2 Tbsp. baste, until sides of meat begin to turn opaque, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden, opaque and thoroughly cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from grill and cover loosely with foil.
  4. Place vegetables and lemon wedges in a perforated grill basket; set on grates (squash slices can be placed directly on grill grates). Shake basket occasionally (or turn vegetables) and cook until browned and tender, 5 to 7 minutes for lemons, tomatoes and sugar snap peas, and 10 to 12 minutes for other veggies.
