Grilled chicken breast with vegetables

Grilled chicken breast with vegetables is a simple yet exquisite dish of Russian cuisine that embodies all the delights of a summer feast. The combination of tender, slightly charred chicken meat with aromatic grilled vegetables creates a harmony of flavors. Asparagus adds a light crunch, sweet onion contributes softness, and cherry tomatoes bring freshness and juiciness. The charred strips on the chicken skin not only please the eye but also impart a characteristic smoky flavor. Olive oil enhances the natural taste of each ingredient, while salt reveals their richness. This versatile dish is perfect for both a light dinner and a festive picnic outdoors.

Salt the chicken breast and let the salt absorb. Then lightly coat the meat with olive oil and place it skin-side down on the grill rack or grill pan. Once dark stripes appear on the chicken skin, flip the breast to the other side. Repeat the process once more until the meat is cooked.
