The Veggies:
This recipe is loaded with an array of fresh vegetables. And the great thing about grilling veggies is there is very little clean up! After grilling potato ‘nibbles’ (or fingerling potatoes), red onion, corn off the cob, yellow squash, asparagus, and baby bok choy, I toss them all together with fresh arugula and cherry tomatoes!
The Chicken:
There is a secret to grilling chicken breasts so they turn out moist and tender. It’s called brining, and it’s as simple as soaking the breasts in salted water!
The Sauce:
This Spicy Red Bell Pepper Sauce tastes great on chicken, but I drizzle some on the grilled veggies too. It’s made with roasted red bell peppers, mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, and garlic. To learn to roast your own red peppers click here! To keep this meal low stress, I recommend making the sauce in advance. It can be kept in the fridge for up to a week.
The Grilling:
The great thing about this meal is almost all of it is done on the grill. I use a grilling pan for most of the vegetables. The grill pan you choose should have small slits in the bottom so smaller vegetables, like corn, don’t fall through. You can place the asparagus and bok choy right on the grill!
The Finished Meal!
After removing veggies from the grill I toss them with fresh arugula and cherry tomatoes, add a few avocado slices to the chicken, drizzle with the Red Bell Pepper Sauce and honestly, it’s one of the prettiest meals I have ever seen!
