A note about serious food allergies

We've put a unique twist on chimichurri, an Argentine condiment of herbs, garlic, and vinegar. Cherries are the main ingredient in a sauce that's garlic-forward and suffused with lime juice. This mixture of sweet and tart flavors makes for a perfect summertime dinner with a juicy grilled chicken breast and fresh vegetables like zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Mince garlic. Trim zucchini ends and slice on an angle into 1/3" ovals. Stem, seed, and slice yellow bell pepper into wide 1 1/2" strips. Trim top of red onion, peel, and cut into six wedges, leaving root intact to hold wedges together. Zest lime, halve, and juice. On a separate cutting board, finely chop cherries. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium heat. Lightly coat grill with cooking spray and add chicken to hot grill pan. Cook 4-6 minutes on each side, or until chicken is slightly charred and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Carefully brush or wipe grates of grill clean.

  3. 3

    Season the Vegetables

    While chicken cooks, place zucchini, yellow pepper, onion wedges, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and vegetable seasoning in a medium mixing bowl. Toss to coat vegetables evenly.

  4. 4

    Grill the Vegetables

    Return grill to medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Working in batches if necessary, add vegetables to hot grill and cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until charred. Remove vegetables to a plate.

  5. 5

    Make the Cherry Chimichurri

    Combine garlic, cherries, 1 1/2 Tbsp. lime juice, 1/2 tsp. lime zest, strawberry jam, 2 tsp. olive oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Place chicken on a plate. Spoon chimichurri in front of chicken and arrange grilled vegetables on side.
