Sizzling Chicken Ratatouille Platter

Ratatouille is a classic French melding of harvest vegetables, starring creamy eggplant, sweet bell peppers, small zucchini, and sweetly-ripe tomatoes. The recipe varies, from a stovetop stew to a grilled platter of tender and slightly charred veggies. Mediterranean herbs—oregano, thyme, rosemary, and lavender—often scent this blend of sun-kissed vegetables. Add some rich chicken thighs, brushed with an olive vinaigrette, to round out a perfect patio meal.

Grilled Chicken Paillards Le Grand Aioli

If you prefer dark meat, use boneless skinless thighs that are pounded out to an even thickness so they grill quickly.

Here the mayo is made with roasted garlic and fresh herbs—the perfect sauce for grilled chicken.
