    One of the easiest ways to save time in the kitchen is to make one-pot recipes: fat, protein, and vegetables all in one dish, so there’s less to keep track of while you’re cooking (and less to wash up afterward).

    This recipe is the grilling equivalent of these one-pot dinners: an entire meal finished at once, from fridge to table in half an hour.

    Lemon Chicken Kebabs With Grilled Zucchinis

    Not only is it quick, but it’s also quite versatile. If you don’t have zucchini handy, just use yellow summer squash, asparagus, or any other vegetable that lends itself well to grilling.

    Even vegetables that don’t usually get the grill treatment, like Brussels sprouts or beets, would work beautifully with this recipe because the simple lemon seasoning goes with almost anything.

    Even though they’re not complicated to prepare, these kebabs certainly aren’t tasteless or boring. Brushing the chicken with lemon juice while it grills makes sure that the meat stays tender and the flavor sinks deep into every mouthful and adding grilled lemons to the plate bumps up the taste even more.

    Cooking lemons over such high heat leaves them still lemony but just a little bit less sour, so you can dig out the flesh with a fork and spread it over the chicken or eat it straight if you like the intensity.
