Honey Balsamic Grilled Chicken & Vegetables

Ingredients: 

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken cutlets
• 3 tbsp. pesto
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• Juice from 1/2 lime
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp. raw honey
• Kosher salt
• 1 lb asparagus
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 red bell pepper (seeded and sliced into strips)
• Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions: 

1. Marinate chicken with pesto, garlic, red pepper flakes, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
2. Mix oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a  small bowl.
3. Heat a grill over medium high, be sure grates are clean and well oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Put veggies on 1 large grill tray or 2 small trays, spray with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning constantly until the edges are browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside on a dish.
5. Cook the chicken about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the chicken is cooked though, transfer to a platter with the veggies and pour the balsamic dressing over everything.
