Minimum effort, maximum flavor. Short on time but refuse to settle for a bland meal? This one-grill recipe is the answer – no fuss, no mess, just clean ingredients and perfect grill marks!
The Build
The Protein: Marinated chicken breasts, expertly grilled to stay juicy and tender over
high heat.
The Veg: A vibrant mix of zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplants, charred until the natural sugars caramelize.
The Base: A bed of fluffy, savory cheesy couscous to soak up all the juices.
The "Secret" Finish
Elevate the dish just before serving with these fresh layers:
Brighten: Garnish with fresh basil/cilantro and a final drizzle of charred lemon juice
The Kick: Topped with a signature drizzle of Hot Habanero or Spicy Garlic Nước Chấm
Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons Spicy Garlic Nước Chấm Sauce
1 -2 tablespoons Hot Habanero Ketchup (optional)
1 bell pepper, cut crosswise into 4 rings
1 small zucchini, cut lengthwise into ¼ inch wide slices
1 small eggplant, cut lengthwise into ½ inch wide slices
1 cup cherry tomatoes, skewered (optional)
Method:
Tip: Pound your chicken to an even thickness before grilling. It ensures it cooks in half the time without drying out!
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (No grill? Pan-searing with cast-iron skillet or grill pan on high heat works too!)
Place the chicken and veggies into a bowl or zip-lock bag, add extra-virgin olive oil, Spicy Garlic Sauce (and Hot Habanero Ketchup). Toss or shake the bag until everything is coated. Marinate in fridge for 10 min.
Shake off excess marinade. Grill vegetables until charred.
Lightly pat dry with paper towels. Grill chicken 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until the center is no longer pink and a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160ºF to 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with freshly squeezed lime / lemon juice and chopped cilantro if desired. Or on a bed of cheesy couscous.
