Lemon Zest Grilled Broccoli

Broccoli Marinade Ingredients:

1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Parsley
1 tsp Tyme
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Rosemary
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Graded Lemon Zest

Other Ingredients:

2 heads of broccoli cut into sticks and cleaned
10 slices of Peppered Thick Sliced Bacon


Instructions:

Mix all the broccoli marinade ingredients into a large freezer zip-lock bag. Add the broccoli to the marinade, close the bag and toss the broccoli in the bag to coat it thoroughly. Put the zip-lock bag in the refrigerator for 2 hours. After 2 hours in the refrigerator put the marinated broccoli onto a foil piece set out on the counter. Make sure the foil is cupped like a bowl to prevent any marinade from leaking out. Close the foil and poke several holes in the foil for ventilation, put your foil on the grill at 350 degrees F. with your chicken. Put 10 slices of peppered think cut bacon on the grill at 350 degrees F. and grill both sides for 5-7 mins. each.  Make sure bacon is crispy, remove from the grill and let sit for 5 mins.  Crumble the 10 slices of peppered thick cut bacon over the broccoli and garnish the chicken if desired.  Continue to check the broccoli stirring it around about every 5 minuets; total cook time 15-20 minuets. Remove the broccoli foil bowl from the grill and pour the broccoli with any juices onto a serving platter, and grate a desired amount of lemon zest on top. The cook time may vary depending on altitude

Serve your meal with 2 1/2 cups Fried Rice-A Roni and one Dinner Yeast Roll for each person. The frozen rolls will work just fine and only take 5 minuets to heat. This meal is simple and all ingredients used are straight from the pantry, refrigerator and freezer.
