Apple-Marinated Chicken & Vegetables Recipe
I actually invented this at a campground, so you know it's easy. Using the same marinade for the chicken and veggies keeps it simple so we can spend more time outside and less making dinner. —Jayme Schertz, Clintonville, Wisconsin TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + marinating Grill: 25 min. YIELD:6 servings
Ingredients
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
4 large carrots
2 medium zucchini
2 medium yellow summer squash
Directions
1. In a small bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients until blended. Place 1 cup marinade and chicken in a large resealable plastic bag; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
2. Cut carrots, zucchini and squash lengthwise into quarters; cut crosswise into 2-in. pieces. Toss with 1/2 cup reserved marinade.
3. Drain chicken, discarding marinade in bag. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°, basting frequently with remaining marinade during the last 5 minutes. Keep warm.
