Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt.
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into strips.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill.
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Once the chicken is nearly done, add the bell peppers to the grill.
Grill the peppers for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are slightly charred and softened.
Remove the chicken and peppers from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the grilled chicken and peppers with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken breasts alongside the grilled bell peppers for a delicious, low-fat meal.
