This is a Pampered Chef recipe. It's a great dinner to serve guests because it not only tastes great -- it looks great.
I usually add green peppers to the veggie mixture.
In the summer, I roast the chicken breasts and veggies (in a grill basket) on the grill, and I brush with the lemon juice-garlic mixture.
I also make veggie packets with 2 sheets of aluminum foil.
I coat the veggies in the lemon juice mixture, then place the veggie pieces and wedges in the center of the foil and add 1 Tbsp. of water.
Fold the aluminum foil around the veggies to make a packet, and place on the grill to cook. Check after 15-20 minutes.
