Grilled Chicken Breast with Steamed Broccoli

Instructions

1. 01

   Pat the chicken breast dry using paper towels. This helps achieve a better grilled texture.

2. 02

   In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano and lemon juice. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breast. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.

3. 03

   Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking.

4. 04

   Place the chicken breast on the hot grill. Cook for 6–7 minutes on the first side, then 6–7 minutes on the second side. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

5. 05

   Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps the meat juicy and tender.

6. 06

   Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over the boiling water. Cover and steam for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

7. 07

   Transfer the broccoli to a serving plate. Add a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice for extra flavor.

8. 08

   Slice the grilled chicken breast and arrange it alongside the steamed broccoli. Serve immediately while warm.
