Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tbsp olive oil (for chicken marinade)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced and zested
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 bell peppers (any color), cored and cut into 1-inch strips
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil (for griddle)
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 2: While the chicken marinates, prepare your vegetables. Wash and chop the asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Core and slice the bell peppers into 1-inch strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 3: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to one side of the griddle and spread it evenly.
Step 4: Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the oiled side of the griddle in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary. Allow the chicken to sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
Step 5: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the other side of the griddle. Add the asparagus and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender and slightly charred.
Step 6: Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the vegetables for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, just until they start to soften slightly.
Step 7: Return the cooked chicken to the griddle with the vegetables. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors and ensure everything is heated through.
Step 8: Remove from the griddle and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, do not overcrowd the griddle. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary to ensure a good sear and even cooking. Adjust seasoning to taste, and don’t skip the fresh lemon zest for extra brightness!
