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

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and let them sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. 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).
  4. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. 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.
