Grilled Chicken & Veggies

 

 

 

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts

olive oil cooking spray

 

Marinade:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 lime, juiced

½ tbsp honey

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tbsp cilantro, chopped

sprinkle of salt and pepper

 

Veggies:

1 red or orange bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

½ yellow onion

½ red onion

1 jalapeno  

1 zucchini

1 yellow squash

mushrooms

Grape tomatoes 

 

 

 

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, mix together your marinade ingredients until combined well. Place the marinade and chicken in a Ziploc bag together and mix. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the marinade set in.

While you are waiting for your chicken to marinate, prep and cut your desired vegetables.

Preheat your grill to medium to high heat. Grease your grill plates with cooking spray and place your marinated chicken on them. Grill for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Separate your desired veggies by bowl type. Wrap them in foil and lightly spray with oil. Preheat your grill to medium to high heat and place the foil packets on the grill plate. Steam the veggies for 10 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove the veggies from the grill and set aside.

 

 

 

 

4 Meal Prep Bowls

 

A meal prep bowl is the perfect idea for breakfast, lunch or dinner, because you can make it your own and include any fixings you desire! Whether that is a breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs and veggies, a lunch bowl with chicken, veggies and spicy salsa to top it off or a dinner bowl with zucchini noodles, rice, meat and veggies to really fill you up! Whichever one you prefer, try to stick to one type of meat and veggie, so that it’s that easier to meal prep! Adding in rice, pasta, quinoa or zucchini noodles are great options that give you a fuller meal and are still a healthier option. Once your meals are done cooking, stick them in your Tupperware containers and refrigerate until you’re ready to enjoy! We were able to fit 4 thick chicken breasts on our Electric Grill. Also keep in mind that brand, size and thickness are all factors you should keep in mind while determining your correct temperature and time. What worked for us, may not work for you. Once the chicken was done, we sliced them, so they were ready to eat, but feel free to cut them into smaller chunks or leave them whole.
