Pot
1 Prepare Ingredients
Heat the BBQ (if using). Peel and mince garlic. Peel and cut red onion into wedges. Pick parsley leaves and roughly chop, fine dice stems. Slice zucchini. Cut capsicum into thick wedges. Zest lemon and cut into thick slices.
Tip! You can cook the chicken and veg in the oven instead at 200C, for 20-25 minutes.
2 Make Lemon Garlic Rice
Heat a pot with a drizzle of oil. Add half the garlic, cook for 20-30 seconds. Add rice, 2 cups of water, lemon zest, stock and parsley stems. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 8-30 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Keep covered until rice is ready to be served. Fluff finished rice with a fork.
3 Marinate Chicken
In a bowl mix remaining garlic, tomato paste, half the parsley, 1Tbsp olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste). Season marinade with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the bowl and coat in marinade.
4 Grill Chicken and Veg
Coat the veg in a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill chicken on the BBQ for 5-6 minutes each side, or until cooked through. Grill the veg for 2-3 minutes each side, or until cooked to your liking.
