Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

  • 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2/3 cup Italian dressing
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Chicken and Vegetables:

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into chunks
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 pint white mushrooms, halved
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into strips
  • 2 zucchini, halved and sliced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked orzo

Instructions

  1. Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Italian dressing, and garlic. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade. Combine the remaining marinade with chicken breast pieces in a bowl and marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to 12 hours).
  2. Grilling Vegetables: Heat the grill to medium heat. Toss tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and zucchini with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and peppers to a grill basket and place on the grill. Cook, shaking frequently, for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and zucchini to the grill basket. Brush with some of the reserved marinade and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
  3. Grilling Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and add chicken to a separate grill basket (or wait for vegetables to cook). Cook for 7-9 minutes or until fully cooked.
  4. Assembling: Toss together the grilled chicken, vegetables, and orzo. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp of reserved marinade. Serve warm or cold.
