How can I prevent the chicken breast from becoming dry during grilling?
Marinate the chicken breast in advance with a mixture of oil, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, sugar, and spices such as garlic or paprika. Make sure the grill is preheated and brush the surface with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken breast over medium heat for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer, which should be 165°F (75°C) for chicken.

How can I ensure the vegetables are cooked to the correct texture and doneness?
Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. Steam them until they are tender but still crisp, approximately 3-5 minutes depending on the vegetable. Test with a fork to ensure they have reached the desired texture and do not overcook or undercook them. Add salt, pepper or other seasonings to taste.

How can I add additional flavor to both the chicken and the vegetables?
Add herbs such as rosemary or thyme to the chicken marinade for additional flavor. For the vegetables, sauté them with garlic or shallots before steaming or sprinkle them with lemon or lime juice before serving. Additionally, you can drizzle the chicken breast and vegetables with a sauce such as balsamic glaze or pesto for added flavor.
