Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
- Place chicken breasts in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Alternatively, bake on a parchment-lined sheet for about 25-30 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté sliced zucchini for about 5-7 minutes until tender yet crisp; season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Serve sliced chicken atop sautéed zucchini and drizzle with any remaining marinade.
