Grilled Basil Chicken & Zucchini

This gorgeous chicken with basil and zucchini is a treat. A fantastic combination of colors and flavors, all kissed by the unmistakable flavors that only a grill can add, especially when served over a bed of fluffy rice.

Vibrantly Colorful

It all starts with a sweet, tangy, and spicy sauce made with lime zest, lime juice, aromatic garlic, soy sauce, and spicy red chili pepper flakes. We’ll add a pinch of sugar too! We’ll set it aside and get cooking.

Roasted Bliss

Then to the grill. We’re roasting those zucchini to perfection, golden and crispy. The chicken must be perfectly grilled and juicy, slightly charred but never dry. When combined with the grilled zucchini, the succulent lime-based sauce, and the super fragrant fresh basil, you’ve got yourself a winning dinner. A fast and easy lunch, or a midnight crave-quencher.

It’s amazing what you can do with just a few ingredients and don’t think for a second chicken is dull; this is a party in your mouth. Sweet, tangy, spicy, and beautifully aromatic, this is text-book balance between aromas, flavors, and texture done right. Top a bowl of white rice with this colorful chicken stew and enjoy — a super healthy grilled basil chicken that’s ready in just a few minutes.
