Grilled Garlic Chicken with Sautéed Peppers & Steamed Broccoli

How to make Grilled Garlic Chicken with Sautéed Peppers & Steamed Broccoli

Step 1: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breast slices and marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 2: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken slices for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and grill marks appear. Remove and let rest.

Step 3: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced red bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 4: In a separate pot, bring 1/4 cup of water to a simmer. Add broccoli florets and cover with a lid. Steam for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 5: Plate the grilled chicken with the sautéed peppers and onions, and a portion of steamed broccoli. Serve warm.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

• Swap red bell peppers for yellow or green for a different flavor profile.
• Use boneless chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
• Add a splash of soy sauce or balsamic vinegar to the peppers for extra depth.
• For extra heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the chicken marinade.
• Substitute olive oil with avocado oil or melted butter.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for best texture or use a microwave in 30-second intervals.
• Avoid overcooking during reheating to keep the chicken moist and veggies crisp.
• You can also enjoy this dish cold in a salad or wrap for a quick lunch.
