Grilled Chicken with Steamed Broccoli: Recipe Video Tutorial
Here's a recipe for Grilled Chicken with Steamed Broccoli:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle them with olive oil and rub the seasonings into the chicken to coat it evenly.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Flip the chicken halfway through cooking.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the steamed broccoli. Fill a medium-sized pot with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket or a heatproof colander. Once the water is boiling, place the steamer basket on top of the pot, making sure the water doesn't touch the broccoli.
Cover the pot and steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes or until it becomes tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking to retain its vibrant green color and nutrients.
Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled chicken with steamed broccoli on the side. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and broccoli for added flavor, if desired.
Enjoy your Grilled Chicken with Steamed Broccoli! It makes for a healthy and satisfying meal.
