Description
A nutritious and flavorful grilled chicken recipe perfect for meal prep or quick weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 small chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Cooked brown rice or quinoa (your choice!)
- Mixed steamed vegetables
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and let them sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Pack the sliced chicken with your choice of cooked brown rice or quinoa and a generous helping of mixed steamed vegetables.
Notes
For more flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. A stovetop grill pan works if you don’t have an outdoor grill.
