You will need a vegetable grill rack for this recipe if you plan on grilling the veggies (you could do them on the stove if you'd like). Very simple recipe. Allow 1 hour time to marinate chicken. Served over linguini and topped with parmesan cheese. We love this dish.

Steps:
- Place chicken, zucchini and red pepper in a 2 quart baking dish (or resealable plastic bag) and then add 1/2 cup of the salad dressing, turning to coat. Cover dish (or seal bag) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning once during refrigeration.

- Grill chicken 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through to 180F - turning once and basting frequently.

- Arrange chicken and veggies over pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese then serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for chicken breasts that are plump and firm, and vegetables that are brightly colored and crisp.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to keep it moist and tender while it cooks.
- Grill the chicken and vegetables over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside cooked through.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling the chicken and vegetables, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken and vegetables rest before serving: This will help to keep the juices from running out and will make them easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Grilled Italian chicken and vegetables is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. With its flavorful marinade and colorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
