Grilled Chicken and Veggies

One of our favorite things to during the summer, and well, year round really, is GRILL outside.

Couple the grill with chicken and veggies and kids playing and getting dirty and having fun, and well, that's our summer!

This meal is one of our all time favorites!  It's quick, easy, tasty, and good for you!  Starting to notice a trend? ;)

Ingredients:

Chicken strips
Veggies! - Your choice!  I often use squash, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, peppers, etc.

[The veggies and chicken are seasoned with my go to seasoning: Simply Organic all purpose seasoning, which is an organic dried herb mix of: onion, black pepper, garlic, parsley, celery seed, tomato powder, basil, thyme, oregano, sage and coriander.]

Simply adding some fresh basil is great with it too!

Serve with a simple spinach, grape tomato, and feta salad with a little balsamic vinegar.

I throw the chicken on a hot grill for about 3 minutes, flip, cook for about another 2 minutes, then wrap in foil and set higher on the grill away from the direct flame til your veggies are done.  We like our veggies seared, but still a little crisp - on a 400 degree grill or so, it usually takes 10-12 minutes.

Eat outside and enjoy more time with your family, not over the stove!!
