Number Of Ingredients 8

8 chicken cutlets, or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 yellow squash (1 1/2 pounds), halved lengthwise
3 medium tomatoes, halved
Salt and fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil, torn into small pieces, plus more for garnish

Steps:

STEP 1 Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Place chicken in a shallow nonreactive dish, and toss with lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1 garlic clove. Cover; marinate 15 minutes. STEP 2 Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss squash and tomatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and remaining garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill vegetables until charred and slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Let cool slightly, then cut into large chunks. Combine vegetables in a bowl with basil; cover, and set aside. STEP 3 Remove chicken from marinade, and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; discard marinade. Grill chicken until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. STEP 4 Transfer vegetables to a serving platter. Place grilled chicken on top, and garnish with more basil.
