Description
A delightful meal featuring juicy marinated chicken served with a fresh lemon zucchini sauté, perfect for any season.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for deeper flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Sauté the Zucchini: In a separate pan, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Serve: Plate the grilled chicken and top with the sautéed zucchini. Garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
