Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Place chicken in a shallow dish, and toss with lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. oil, and 1 garlic clove. Cover; marinate 15 minutes.

2. In a medium-bowl, toss squash and tomatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and garlic clove, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp 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 the basil; cover and set aside.

3. Remove chicken from marinade, and season with salt and pepper; discard marinade. Grill chicken until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

4. Transfer vegetables to serving platter. Place grilled chicken on top and garnish with more basil.
