Ingredients

  • 1 large chicken breast, butterflied or thin-cut
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced zucchini
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for drizzling after steaming)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  2. Rub the marinade over the chicken breast, coating it fully. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli, carrots, and zucchini for 6–8 minutes or until tender but not mushy.
  6. Season the steamed vegetables with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
  7. Serve the grilled chicken alongside the steamed veggie medley.

Notes

  • Let chicken rest after grilling for 5 minutes to retain juices.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C).
  • Do not over-steam vegetables to maintain texture and nutrients.
  • Great for meal prep and can be paired with grains for a fuller meal.
