This grilled chicken was pretty much intuitive. I knew I wanted to butterfly it to make it cook faster and the rosemary and garlic seemed right, just needing olive oil.
I had zucchini, red pepper and potatoes that sounded like roasting to me.
This was a good, plain and easy meal. The red peppers roasted up sweet, complimenting the crisp potatoes and melting zucchini. Very happening. Still, I miss the barbecue boys.
Grilled Rosemary Chicken with Roasted Zucchini and Potatoes
1 whole chicken, butterflied
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt and pepper
2 zucchini, cut into large pieces
3 potatoes, cut into large pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into large pieces
2 garlic cloves, slivered
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper
Whisk together the 1/2 cup of olive oil, lemon juice, 3 cloves of garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Put the chicken in a large zip lock, pour over marinade, massage and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Mix the zucchini, potatoes, bell pepper, 2 garlic cloves, bread crumbs, paprika, salt, pepper and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Put in a oiled roasting pan and roast at 400 degrees for about 30-40 minutes.
Grill the marinated chicken, turning every 20 minutes until cooked.

This dish reminds me of Provençal Cuisine !! Love the combination of flavors, specially rosemary and garlic!!
I know. The combination of zucchini, tomatoes, rosemary, garlic, bell peppers, etc. make me think of Mediterrean cuisine.
Beautiful dish and beautiful photography!
I hate it when I have just finished dinner, then look at some delicious like this chicken and am instantly hungry again. Great job!
Thanks sports.
I just love chicken with rosemary on the grill almost as much as I love lamb and rosemary on the grill! This looks great.
Lamb, chicken, pork; rosemary is just good!
Beautiful shots for a delicious recipe.
Thanks Master. You don’t know how pleased I am with the lessons I took with you! I feel a lot more confident and while all my photos are not yet as successful as I’d like them to be, I know that I will just get better; especially after my follow-up session. 🙂 🙂
I made a similar meal that I haven’t posted yet. The grilled chicken had to have been so good with roasted vegetables. I love the addition of the bread crumbs. I’ll be making sure I do that. Thank you for always giving such great ideas to make a simple dish special.

What is the weight of the chicken to be used for this recipe?
Let’s see, 6 years ago, no idea. Get a normal, no hormones chicken. In general, when grilling chicken, you don’t need to be exact, just a little experienced
