Ingredients

  • 3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots
  • 1 medium onion, cut into 8 wedges
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 8 pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 8 pieces
  • 8 oz fresh whole green beans, trimmed
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 to 5 oz each)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp; drain on paper towel. Discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in skillet.
  • 2
    Stir dressing into drippings in skillet. Remove from heat. Remove 1/4 cup dressing mixture from skillet; reserve.
  • 3
    Add carrots, onion, bell peppers and beans to remaining dressing mixture in skillet; stir to coat. With slotted spoon, place vegetables in grill basket (grill "wok"). Reserve dressing mixture in skillet.
  • 4
    Place chicken and grill basket on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, shaking grill basket occasionally, turning chicken once and brushing reserved dressing mixture from skillet over chicken, until vegetables are crisp-tender and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).

    To serve, arrange vegetables around chicken. Sprinkle with bacon; drizzle with reserved 1/4 cup dressing mixture.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To cook vegetables on stove-top and broil chicken, cook vegetables in dressing mixture in covered 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place chicken on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 12 to 16 minutes, turning once and brushing with reserved dressing mixture from skillet once or twice.
