Here's a tasty and nutritious low-carb recipe for "Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Cauliflower Rice":
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken.
While the chicken is grilling, you can prepare the broccoli and cauliflower rice. You can steam the broccoli in the microwave or on the stovetop until it's tender-crisp.
In a separate pan, heat a bit of olive oil and add the cauliflower rice. Sauté it for a few minutes until it's heated through and slightly tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If you like, stir in some grated Parmesan cheese into the cauliflower rice for added flavor.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
To serve, place a bed of cauliflower rice on each plate, top it with grilled chicken, and arrange the steamed broccoli on the side.
Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of the remaining lemon garlic marinade for extra flavor.
This low-carb recipe is not only delicious but also packed with protein and essential nutrients while keeping the carb count low. It's a perfect option for a satisfying and healthy meal in your diet. Enjoy!
