Instructions

Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
While the chicken cooks, place broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans into a steamer basket over boiling water.
Cover and steam vegetables for 5–7 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
Remove the vegetables and drizzle with lemon juice.
Slice the grilled chicken and serve alongside the vegetable medley.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Swap green beans for zucchini or asparagus based on seasonal availability.

Marinate chicken in spice mix with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for added flavor.

Add chili flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Serve over quinoa or brown rice for a more filling meal.

A drizzle of tahini or a dollop of hummus pairs well with the veggies.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the microwave or a skillet with a splash of water to retain moisture.
