Substitute vegetables for half the chicken. Do not marinate the vegetables, just brush them with the marinade as they’re grilling. Good vegetable choices could be eggplant, zucchini or mushrooms, but any vegetable that your family likes works as long as it’s not a starchy vegetable such as potatoes, corn or carrots.
