Chicken and Veggies on my GG's

We are having some great cooler weather here in Ohio. After about 10 days of 90 deg. days I was getting behind in my yard work. Last night I told the wife I was working the next day in the yard and we would eat carry ins. She had her water aerobics in the afternoon.

Then I spotted a yellow squash and a zucchini on the countertop that needed used so I got a vacuum pack of Kah Meats sun dried tomato and garlic chicken breasts out to thaw. I had a couple of small yellow potatoes to use and that would be a quick supper for us.

I did it all on my Grill Grates, one up and one down. I did the chicken breasts and potatoes on the bottom side and the sliced squash on the top side. I preheated the Traeger to 300 deg. and did the chicken just over 30 minutes to get to temp. I nuked the potatoes first and cut in half and put them and the squash on the last 20 minutes.

It tasted great for a quick and easy meal. I didn’t get the grill marks good on the squash but it tasted good.

Looks good to me! Nice dinner. I used my GGs on the G2G Ice tonight for some brats - a few cherry chips in the trough for flavor - wonderful. Your pictures are perfect, thanks for sharing them!

Good post Don. Dinner looks fantastic.
Thanks for the GG details too. It's making purchasing them a much easier decision now.

I really like them Sam, & wish I had bought them sooner. I was too low on my temps for the veggies here I think. I am trying rib eyes on them tonight so we'll see. Don

I do veggies on the GG's all the time -- squash, onions, tomatoes, zuchinni, even sliced potatoes and eggplant.

FAST, easy recipe:

Slice veggies about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick (too thick and they'll still be raw in middle when done/gorgeous outside)

Place slices in 1 gallon plastic food storage bag with generous 1/2 cup EVOO and several good sized dashes of McCormick Italian Seasoning plus several grinds of black pepper

Shake it all around to coat the slices with the oil and spices -- rest, unrefrigerated, for one hour

Use long tongs to place each slice on GG's "flat" and not in the grooves.  Turn to cook other side as the first side finishes.  At steak grilling temps, they'll cook pretty quickly and you'll get gorgeous grill marks plus some fantastic grilled flavor from the oil sizzling. 

Hint:  I've tried the pronged GG spatula and it works okay for really big slices, but for smaller things like sliced squash, zuchinni, etc. I get better results with tongs, especially since the different breeds of veggie cook at different rates.  My favorites are grilled yellow summer squash and grilled purple onions  ;D

WARNING:  Government agencies have determined that consumption of cooked vegetables contributes to a healthy lifestyle high in vitamins, minerals and fiber.  Overconsumption and/or consumption of only vegetable matter to the exclusion of real food may lead to eternal life but be incredibly boring resulting in suicidal tendencies and an urge to promote such unbalanced food consumption patterns on innocent bystanders, especially those chewing on bacon.  Potential consumers are advised against becoming intense, overbearing, boorish, insufferable vegetarians or (worse) vegans.  Vegetable overdependence assistance and advice concerning antidotes in the event of over-dose is available at 1-800-EAT-MEAT.  Please slaughter vegetables humanely and, when possible, obtain them from sources using reputable, ethical growing practices which allow the plants to range freely and grow free of political correctness in the field or hydroponic pond.  Potential consumers are alterted that the word "Organic" on vegetable packaging doesn't mean diddly and my refer to anything not made of polystyrene or that is played on a church choir accompaning instrument.  The additional price of "Organic" labeled produce may or may not increase the feeling of well-being in the consumer and claims of ecological superiority over common consumers are even more boorish and incomprehensible than veganism.  This warning label is required by no known regulation or governmental agency but will be the minute is is usurped by some congressman out to get his or her name on a law that everybody ignores.
