Ingredients:

Protein Powerhouse:

  • 220g (8 ounces) skinless chicken breast

Vibrant Vegetables:

  • 250g (2 cups) broccoli florets
  • 150g (1 large) bell pepper, sliced (choose your favorite color!)

Flavor Boosters:

  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder

Instructions:

Season the Star: Generously season the chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor.


Grill to Perfection: Cook the seasoned chicken breast using your preferred method: grilling, baking, or air frying. Aim for an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) to ensure it's cooked through and juicy.


Steam the Veggies: While the chicken cooks, steam or lightly stir-fry the broccoli florets and sliced bell pepper until they reach a tender-crisp texture. This preserves their vibrant color and nutritional value.


Zesty Zing: Once the vegetables are cooked, give them a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This brightens the flavors and adds a refreshing tang.


Assemble and Enjoy: Plate the perfectly cooked chicken breast alongside the colorful vegetable medley. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.


Chef's Tip:

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice and your favorite herbs for 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more intense and delicious experience.
