This was a great dinner! I did all of the prep work and made the sauce before we headed out and when we got home I threw them on the grill and they were done in no time. I served this over some saffron rice and the kids even ate all of the grilled veggies. I am not sure if it made a difference that I let all of the veggies chill in one container or not but they really do transfer a nice flavor to the chicken during the cooking process. Thank you for sharing.
