📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    PREP CHICKEN (15 mins + marinating): In a large bowl or Ziploc bag, combine chicken breasts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  2. 2
    PREP VEGETABLES (10 mins): In a separate large bowl, combine zucchini, yellow squash, red and orange bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. 3
    MAKE COMPOUND BUTTER (5 mins): In a small bowl, combine softened butter, 1 minced garlic clove, parsley, chives, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined. Roll into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
  4. 4
    PREHEAT GRILL (10-15 mins): Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F / 200-230°C). Clean the grates thoroughly and lightly oil them.
  5. 5
    GRILL CHICKEN & VEGETABLES (15-20 mins): Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Alongside them, arrange the seasoned vegetables. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Grill the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Remove chicken and vegetables to a platter and tent with foil.
  6. 6
    GRILL SIRLOIN (8-12 mins): While chicken and veggies rest, season sirloin steaks on both sides with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp coarse sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place steaks on the hot grill. For medium-rare, grill for 4-5 minutes per side. For medium, grill for 5-6 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness (135-140°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium).
  7. 7
    REST & SERVE (5 mins): Transfer grilled steaks to the platter with the chicken and vegetables. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Top each steak with a slice of the prepared garlic herb compound butter. Serve immediately with the chicken and grilled vegetables.

💡 Notes

For best results, pat chicken breasts dry before marinating to help develop a better sear. If using a flat top grill, use a little extra oil for the vegetables and ensure even heat distribution. Compound butter can be made several days ahead and stored in the fridge.
