Grilled Chicken, Grilled Vegetables, and Saffron Rice

The sun finally came out after weeks of raining here! So naturally, I had to break out the grill to celebrate. I think the beauty of this meal is in it's simplicity. All I had to do was rub some olive oil, hawaiian salt, pepper, and tequila lime rub (courtesy of Kinder's) on the chicken breasts. Then, grill it for about 13 minutes on high. It comes out wonderfully juicy. As for the vegetables, just cut up some red peppers, zucchini, and eggplant. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, grill it for about 5-6 minutes on high. The saffron rice is simply arborio rice cooked in a pinch of saffron and low sodium chicken broth. It's a completely flavorful, healthy, and balanced meal.
