Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding some chopped fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the marinade for extra flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider using spicy brown mustard instead of Dijon. Ensure the grill is preheated to medium-high for perfect char on your chicken and vegetables. For a quicker option, use pre-cut veggies to save prep time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken instead of cutlets?
Yes, you can use bone-in chicken, but the cooking time will increase. Make sure to marinate it longer, about 6-8 hours, and grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This ensures it remains juicy and flavorful.
What vegetables can I substitute in this recipe?
Feel free to substitute with any seasonal vegetables you enjoy, such as asparagus, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes. Just keep in mind that different vegetables may require slightly different cooking times, so adjust accordingly for perfect grilling.
Can this recipe be made in advance?
Absolutely! Marinate the chicken the night before for even better flavor. You can also grill the chicken and vegetables ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Reheat them when ready to serve for a quick and delicious meal.
