Grilled Chicken and Veggie Bowls are something we make pretty often during the warmer months and we're constantly out grilling. This bowl has chicken, corn, zucchini, avocado, peppers and onions, but there are a ton of amazing options using the same basic recipe, but switching up the meat or veggies.
